Thanks to you R.

I happen to discover and learn more about myself through many people around me..... I had a discussion with a very good friend of mine about people/friends/expectations etc....here are some glimpses of that conversation, I though it was worth posting -

I do not like people who have a lot of expectations from their people. because I believe and am a live example that from expectations comes pain in any relationship. I cannot deliver anything if someone is expecting anything from me be it my dad or my teacher or my boss or even a friend.

I am the closest if one lets me go. please don't take me otherwise but I am like this. I try to expect least from my people too. that's one major reason why I will be able to forgive/let go even if someone hurt me because somewhere I was expecting that they/someone should be the way I want them to be and they turned out to be themselves and if that hurts me - it is not them but me hurting myself by not agreeing to the fact that they are a different and unique person with their own life.

In the same way if anyone has a problem with me, they should think is it me or is it just them.

I do not expect anything from my friends. I have been hurt enough that I cant live if I am any less than this. I know that I have been a pain in the *** for some people around me. but if you don't want to let go things, you have to take the pain.

Nice that I have such conversations which help so much in discovering self. Thanks to my friends for helping me in so many different ways. I love my friends to death. No matter how bad we fight, they end up teaching me something and the best part is is they are persistent and keep teaching/have a lesson for me till I learn (I am not a first go learner)
