expectations and trust

I haven't blogged in a while because I worry too much about shit that doesn't matter and people scare the shit out of me. That's a topic for another day.

Today's topic is expectations.

Over time you will develop expectations of your world. You see(k) patterns and you're not surprised when things recur. Maybe it's things you're okay with. Maybe it isn't. Perhaps you expect things from other people, maybe you still show your gratitude (well done you), maybe you've learned to live with it. There are things you might infer, given hypothetical situations, you might predict some outcome based on your expectations. In the event of a surprise, you still might have some expectation in hindsight. You compare events unfolded with what you had expected to happen. Your satisfaction or discontent with events unfolded is determined by your expectations. 

Daily Disconnect

Over the course of my day I get plenty of thoughts. Ideas & worries, they pop up and stick in there somewhere craving attention. Yes, yes, hold ON I'm in the middle of something. It can get too foggy with thoughts to focus and I just turn off, or do something dim like watch YouTube poop. When it gets this bad, it's time to disconnect. And it's probably a good idea to disconnect daily.
