Expectations

 

Every living creature has expectations in their life and there comes love which comes with expectations that build up every single minute.

 You feel like nobody would ever love you or be there , the way you love them is all because of expectation.

Why do we want others to love and accept us the way we love them?

And love here is not the stereotypical one that the society accepts of us.

Let's say you find a stray animal and bring it home. You feed it, care for it and love it a lot. But the animal doesn't lay food on your plate when you are hungry. Does that mean it doesn't care?

We build a hypothetical mindset where we feel everything is ideal. If  I work hard I should be successful, If I study well I get a better job etc. This hypothetical expectation is just going to make things worse for you.

You need to understand that every individual has their own life. Their life doesn't revolve around your happiness but their own. If loving someone intensely gives you happiness great but expecting the same in return is a little selfish as they might not be the ulterior motive of that person.

Live your life be happy and don't think so much as Overthinking is another nasty pillar to break through for happiness.

Life is simple, Love is just a part of life not your whole life so pondering over it is just going to take away the beautiful essence of the feeling loving gives you when you start expecting .
