There have been many instances in my life where I've expected an experience to feel a certain way.
And then upon experiencing it, I've realized, wait a minute, this isn't what I expected at all.
And I think that's because a lot of times our expectations about things are rooted in a fantasy.
Like when it comes to dating and relationships,
I formed my expectation on love stories that I've seen in the media.
You know, when I got a little bit older,
I learned about getting my shit together and having a good routine from watching other people on the internet.
Something edited, something curated, something dramaticized.
And it's led me to feel at times like there's something wrong with me.
But what I've come to the conclusion of and what my elders have instilled in me is that these expectations that we have about certain life experiences that they're going to bring us maximum fulfillment and feelings of euphoria.
That's not realistic.
And there's nothing wrong with me other than my expectations.
We're only capable of feeling a certain range of emotions.
If we choose to have realistic expectations, we can actually enjoy things in life much more.
And so today I thought I'd share some of the expectations versus reality that I've experienced in my life in the least for some entertainment for you.

So here are some expectations versus reality that I've experienced, okay?
