Expectations

It's common knowledge that you have expectations of yourself. Not just you, but in fact all of us! I know that I want to go to post 16 and get fabulous grades, then go to University to study fashion journalism and then work for a huge fashion magazine where I can write till my hearts content. And that's alongside finding Mr. right, marrying him and having a fabulous family in a lovely homely cottage! But that's speaking lifetime goals! This is all acceptable to me. If I don't reach these goals? Then I don't reach them! After a good chick-flick I'll be up on my feet again and moving! But, then why isn't it okay for other people to have their own expectations of us? It suddenly feels like they're living our life, but with no care in the world of the outcome. I ask, when did this become acceptable? I've always told any of my friends that they can do whatever they wish to do! 'Don't you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand.' Lyrics from one of my favourite songs, Ordinary day. And that is the advice I give. But if someone was to tell me that? I'd say that there is no chance that I can do whatever I want; all you can do is Keep Dreaming! So, I'll give this advice to the rest of you- with all the expectations you make for yourself- keep dreaming because only you can get you there! xoxo
