Expectations are deadly little things.
When you expect something to happen, you hope for it to happen, you want it to happen. Everyone has expectations, one way or another. We expect people to reply our texts, we expect people to accompany us to dinner, we expect our grades to be good, we expect our friends to be there for us, we expect results when we try, we expect so much. And yet, we can't achieve everything we expect ourselves to.
When things fall out of these many expectations, then what happens? You expected someone to follow you to dinner, and turns out that he can't make it. You expected to succeed, but you fail. We get disappointed, because we usually put in effort to try to reach for these expectations, and all the effort goes to waste. Things just fall short of your expectations and there's nothing you can do about it anymore.
Expectations are deadly little things. Oh, and they're pretty damn much unavoidable.
