it's not good to have expectations.. sometimes when you expect something from a person, you end up being disappointed and all your hopes are just dashed.. but when you don't expect something from someone and that person actually gives you something, be it anything, it gives you sheer joy.. When i do something for someone, it is usually because i truly believe that by doing so, i will make that person happy.. i might get hurt in the process, like i did once before, but all that doesn't really matter if I am able to bring a smile to that person's face. but it saddens me when i do something for that person and that person ends up making a joke out of the whole thing or just appreaciate it. i'm not asking for flowers, but a simple Thank You would more than suffice. But then i suppose, that would be expecting something from someone..
Getting hurt in the process is something i've learnt to live with too.. i try and do something good for that person, but then it just backfires... i'm not pushing the blame to anyone.. it's my fault. i suppose i'm just not able to understand what i'm supposed to do. when people tell me their problems, i find it hard to not do anything.. if i'm able to give advice, i always do.. but then again.. anyway.. and if they need anything, i'll do whatever i can to provide it for them.. but is a Thanks so hard to imagine? Does that exist at all? or am i just making it up, again a fragment of my imagination?
