Let me put the lessons of the day first this time because I feel that it is important for people to understand this and I wish that I could tell the whole world so that others don't get hurt.
Lesson/Realisation #2 - Don't ever expect anything from anyone in life and you will never be disappointed.
So why am I writing this now? Well let's just say that this week has been the typical week from hell which no one would have wanted to swop out with me for. A piano exam that went badly, a want to be honest ending in hatred and sudden misfortune (funny story actually I might add another post about that) and then simply leaving empty handed...
I won't bore you with the story of how I didn't get a position on my school's leadership council for my final year. Really, that doesn't phase me in the slightest and I absolutely don't care. However, I have to admit that I really didn't think that I would walk away with nothing.
Expectation is extremely dangerous and anyone who says otherwise has clearly never been hurt before. All I left with was exasperation bordering on rage... (yes, unfortunately I have a temper) but luckily it wasn't only bad vibes that came from this.
After an hour long phone call with my best friend Clo, I finally managed to calm down and see both sides of the issue, sure I didn't have some title that's just as good as the minuscule badge but what the disappointment gave me was flare. Flare to become more than just someone under a title. It gave me the flare to rise to bigger and better places and for all of you out there, disappointment should fuel you, not drain you.
Just as a note to all of my readers - Hope, dream and have ambitions but don't expect anything, this way happiness will always favour you.
