what am I expecting?

from the ceaseless mountain range,
to the shimmering waves of the river
I am running through the meadows of pain, sorrow
without any support
I'm running, expecting a lending hand to borrow.

I, expect myself to be me
a beautiful, charismatic, charming, me
that endures beauty,
pleases the audience
keeps myself fit and fine
I try my best not to have brunch n dine
what I expect from myself is infinite
it is beyond my imagination.

I know I don't chase my passion.
I let it be my expectation

After addiction last time, I would talk about "expectation". Truly, we expect many things from many people. This doesn't only happen to adults, but everyone. A child expects his/her parents to bring him/her toys and gifts. A teenager expects his/her parents to give them some space(which is not true everywhere). An adult expects his/her boss not to put pressure or if so, they expect their families to create less trouble. An old person expects his/her grandkids and kids to spend time with him/her. Expectation is the feeling or belief that something will or should happen.

Now we know we expect at all ages. But did you notice, that we expect from our close ones only? This is because they give us love, enough love that we begin to expect. Internet says "expectation kills happiness" and I strongly believe it. Loving someone without expecting anything is unconditional love. Well we are not going to talk about love. Expectation, according to me, is of two types. The first one is a healthy expectation, which is usually from yourself. The other one, in simple English, is "greediness".

How to get over with expectation? Well that will make each of us a whole different human being, a better, wiser version, though. This brings in the fact of a person take up simplicity, becoming ordinary. This is not my advice, it's just my opinion. Being simple means, reducing the problems we have. I know being in 21st century, no one acknowledges the simplicity but that is a method, according to me that keeps us away from expectations.

"The world turns to a new day, new thoughts and new experiences. But then it ends after a 24 stay, I faze in disappointment. Where did this feeling of sadness or dissatisfaction come from? It came from your expectations, your list that was left incomplete." That concludes how expectations can harm us at any cause. But I can expect myself to be who I am, be a better version of me, rather than become a superstar of a Hollywood film, knowing that the idea is not valid for me. Although, expecting too much gets worse. I think we have a good idea about this expectations.

See you in a while :D
