Expectations

Expectations have always been a part of human nature. But for some, expectations maybe lower than others. When we get disappointed, most likely due to unexpected results we tend to get hard on ourselves or make up excuses along the way. I on the other hand, have low or no expectations, which is sometimes good and bad at the same time. Good in a way that I shield myself from the pain, but it is also bad because I do not challenge myself that much. Everybody has potential I just chose to make sure of the result before showing any more interest into the subject. But sometimes words not meant to be said or are loosely spoken may hurt you no matter how much you try not to be affected by it. Do you ever feel fulfilled with the life choices and challenges that you have chosen to go through? This is the question that has been bothering me ever since my life-changing incident. I hate regretting things that has happened to me but being depressed I just cant help but wonder how my life would have turned out if I did not make stupid mistakes. Yes my mistakes in life made me stronger but it has also made me loose faith in myself. How many more of my expectations should I fail before I really ruin my life?
