Don't expect much when you look up to

in #writing7 years ago

We are humans
We act
Behave
People like us
Look up to us
We try to keep up
So we don't disappoint
But then we end up putting our selves in a box that suffocates
We loose guard
And misbehave
Then comes the sad story of "i expected more"

the looker

Sometimes we want to drew strength and inspiration, it's something that comes almost naturally.
We look up to people either out of respect or because their beliefs aligns with ours.
We also look up to them because of the things they say or do and somehow we begin to build a perception around them which in most cases tilts towards perfection.
It's okay to look up to people, we sometimes cannot help it but then don't expect much from them, it's unsafe for you and them.

the looked

This could feel like a suffocating box, a hot seat and you could probably feel like you set a standard you are finding it hard to keep.
You tend to care a lot about what people would say or think and no matter how uncomfortable you are, you might never have the courage to change.

Don't feign perfect, don't even look it.
You cannot please any one or attend to every need.
Sometimes you need to walk away from the limelight and breathe some fresh air of the real you.

In the end, when people look up to you, some are actually looking forward to your misbehavior.

What if you misbehave?
Remind yourself that you're human and don't lift more than you can carry...

when people look up to you, do your best not to let them down and when you look up to people don't expect so much

Happy new week..
Put on your best behavior

Happy New week vhee

Happy new week dear

Thanks, I fall into that category, I trust people easily and I expect much from them which most time am at the disappointing end.

I guess you just have to expect less so you don't get disappointed when they misbehave

Then comes the sad story of "i expected more"

Sometimes, our sense of judgment can be beclouded or compromised by sentiments that we could fail to realize the sacrifices other people do. Believe me, there are some sacrifices we can't see physically, even when we try hard to.
We should just learn to look beyond what we see.

Nice piece

Thanks for your thoughts

Always expect the unexpected.. My watch word

Beautiful piece dear

Yes ma'am!
