I have been around the block too many times, at 35, to expect
anything. I should know by now that when you have expectations, they are
usually shattered. Not to be pessimistic, or anything.
But this time, I am hoping things will be different. I am
trying to be free, to be happy, and to accept that not everybody is at the
exact same spot in ‘Being’ as I am. It still hurts, though, when the person you
thought was rocking your world is apparently not doing that intently or with
purpose at all. What they are doing, though, is carelessly wafting through
life. They have chosen (by their own admittance) to not make choices in life. They
have chosen not to commit. You like their bohemian lifestyle, their
carelessness. You like that they get up to go get chocolatines on Saturday
morning, that they make chocolate coffee for you when you are still in bed and
that their restaurant-owning neighbours have soup delivered to your door for
lunch.
Your choice (and between the lines, mine, oh My Loverly
Loverlings): to play along or to be stuck once again expecting something you
feel you won’t be getting soon? Argh. To
be 20 again, and to not care about these things.
Stop expecting. Start doing.
