Expectation
Expectations can really kill someone at times, but yet it can also propel one to be a better person. However, at times, expectations really make someone go crazy, for instance, me.
I always expected myself to be great, special, but of course, all this was just pure day-dreaming. It turn out that i am just one commoner among others. Not much of a difference from other people.
I always expected myself to be able to juggle lots of things in my life. But yet again and again i fell, miserably.I really hope i can do. I really do.
I always have the tendency to tell myself, i have to be rich, because i am poor. i have to be a millionaire, at most by 30 years old. But now i see that dream fading..
I am obsessed about myself "in a good manner", i always strive to be the best, i dont want to lose out to anybody at all. Should there be anywhere i can be better i will do it. Anything that i can improve i will ask and see how can i do it.
For example, i use to be a loser in basketball. I cant play basketball properly. I started when i was young, but took a long break and never touch it again. Till i mix with another group of people. Basketball was the "man" game. I was poor in the game. And i dislike losing. I started playing from morning 8-10, evening 4-8. I was determine to learn the skills of it. The real GAME. I succeeded. I got myself into the college team. Barely a 2 years i played. I was quite good at the game. Maybe it was due to my height, it was easier for me to pick up the game.
I even got in the Petaling team. Which i thought it was the highlight for my basketball life. Some of my friends who is pretty good and in the school team, didn't made it as far as i did. It was something that i could shout about. Something that i felt proud of till today. It was the expectations that drove me this far, and till today, im still proud to share if im asked when did i pick up this game.
I used to be plump, horrible, big and ugly. I didn't expect myself to get a pretty girlfriend. Anyone moderate will have been great to me. I didn't expect myself to change drastically to be someone better. I was proud, happy that i have a girlfriend now, pretty, caring and etc etc. (i am not gonna praise so much in case there is some people out there wondering who is she) .. SHE is mine.. =)
However, these days, i expect myself too much. I put too much expectations on myself till i fail miserably. It is a really hard fall, a heartbreak to me. I did not expect as much as i do last time, i do not have the courage anymore.
Till to date, i still expect, but with a cautious heart, it isn't me anymore. it's CRAZY, fortunately , it's just me.
