expectations

"you can do it, you know you can"

"oh come on! you have it in you. we all have high expectations from you"

"not just your parents, even we your teachers have high hopes from you"

OH MY GOD JUST SHUT UP.

that's all i can say when i hear those lines. i mean, haven't people heard of the saying "don't expect too much. don't get disappointed"

all everyone keeps saying is do this & don't do that. what if something happens. what if you make a mistake. you cannot afford making mistakes because its you & it has to be perfect because so many people expect shit from you. well, don't.

if something happens, i'll deal with it. if i can't, i',ll ask for help. if i make a mistake, they are MY mistakes. i'll learn from it. nobody is perfect. everyone makes mistakes. that's probably the best way to learn from them.

by holding someone down, not letting them achieve what they want, all you're creating is a monster. much worse than frankenstein. because this monster, is going to be a lying, not-giving-a-shit, rebellious creature. learn to let people free. let them breathe & try to do things on their own. guide them & show them how.

you don't have to force the horse to drink water. it is eventually, the animal's choice.
