Soo.. uhm if you expect anything from someone you are liable to disappointment when they don't deliver. If I order a pizza I expect a pizza. A rolls royce would be nice but I'm hungry. So we'd still have to drive out and get something. So there's always what you want and what you get. When it comes to relationships it's there but a bit different... for me at least. So let's say if I call you I never expect you to call me back because I call you and neither will I  ask you to. My relationship with you has nothing to do primarily with what you are expected to do for me as far as the concept of relationship kinda demands. Well, the type of relationship matters too. I mean there are the basic concepts like if i text you i will expect you to reply. Maybe not right away but when you feel so inclined. If you don't I may still text you to just to find out how you are. If that takes a while too I may still call. If I know WHERE YOU LIVE... No.. I wouldn't go that far. If it feels like I'm imposing myself I relax and let a person be. For a time. Then I roll through that door again like wazaaaap XD.  Just because that's what i do. Ofcourse there are people who make it clear I NEVER WANNA SEE YOU AGAIN... which is ...whoa ..but yeah ..as far as expectations go, primarily I base it on what I'm expected to do.. and maybe I'm not good at it at times but I'm going uphill. I may expect certain things at times but I don't demand them and neither do I regress into weary sighs because of it. Just one weary sigh will do. Whatever relationship i may be in with someone does not mean we are in the same places in the relationship or in the same places of understanding. We are not all invested the same way. Which is sad. But the truth. But if I imposed my expectations then it would be more transactional than relational. So it's not what I would expect a person to do by habit because of expectation. It's what I would expect them to do by habit out of desire. The difference between these two is that the latter does even the unexpected. Idk. Sometimes I feel the value of being genuine is trodden underfoot. We want to be seen so much we forget what we really look like. It's sad not all of us have the confidence to believe we're awesome even though it may not seem so to those around us. We become like paintings subject to the standards of others. And can i say I'm not really an art expert but Mona Lisa isn't exactly the prettiest but she's outlived alot of prettier people. In essence. In memory. Something about her inspired the painter. If you can't last being genuine, you won't do it by being fake. Might turn a few heads, get a couple of smiles but what's all that worth if it isn't really you?
