Unrealistic Expectations

I’ve spent a lot of time learning about myself, my value system, my perspective, just everything. I constantly am trying to evolve and push myself in a variety of different ways.

Something I constantly battle, especially due to the above, is having unrealistic expectations of people, society, places, things. All of which is on me and I work on accepting that constantly and keeping my unsolicited opinions to myself, but I just wish everyone could have an open mind and be okay with people disagreeing, people having different perspectives, people making the wrong choices, just people being people in general. I always want to help, always have the best intentions, but it typically comes across wrong.

If I could just temper my expectations of people, places and things… I would make my own life much easier because it would remove a lot of my let down I experience, frustration, feeling alone or defensive. It would help with everything, for me.

This piece is a promise to myself that I will never forget to work on this, specifically. So that I can be a better friend, better son, better human in general.
