People weren't happy during the holiday or that wasn't checked for? o_O
I have never drawn something about which I have said, "that turned out better than I thought". This means that every drawing I have ever made has been - disappointing.
Ahh I know that feeling. It's why it's taking me 17 years and counting to do this project. When I started out nothing I did was meeting expectations (which apparently I set way too high for myself if I pay attention to what other people say to me) so I kept working on it. Finally got to a stage where I was happy with some things but now I'm just fighting with other things XD
I've even had some things turn out better than I thought, sometimes even quicker, and then I'm on edge for ages after waiting for something to break XD
the rule for not being disappointed is to not expect anything, but that seems near impossible
After I can't remember how long of this happening, at some point I just decided to see how things turned out rather than seeing if things met my expectations, and I haven't been disappointed since ;D
Also kind of feeling you with the renos thing. We have amazing plans (that may or may not be amazing in real life but they will probably work and either way I'll be happy that they gone done ;D), but no money.
Enjoy the rest of your imaginary jetsetting :D
I don't think they checked for it - but even so, I would likely predict that even during, the happiness level was lower than the expectation prior.
"This is too good, what am I missing?" :D
Perhaps this is the saviour, as you never have to really find out whether your plans are great or - not! :)
THAT IS EXACTLY IT XD
I want the money to do the things dammit! All our plans are amazing including the ones that don't quite go according to...plan XD
this is why all my plans are super loose and more somewhat developed ideas than actual plans because somewhere along the line they are guaranteed full derailment, none of this "slight hitch" business with me XD
