I Am Tired Of Catering To Everyone's Expectations

Well, it is a Friday night, and what the hell am I doing? Sitting on EP. Just. Like. Every. Other. Effing. Night. I just want to get this all off my chest so I can sleep well tonight.

For one thing, I hate that *everyone* thinks...

HOURS

Between the dawn light

And deep dark of night,

Are the hours that glow

Within our sight...

Cherish them, 

As treasures found;

Honor them, but

Be not bound

To another's expectation

Of what they should...

I'm not even going to try anymore.

I'm fat, ugly, boring, bad at even simple math, I laugh at inappropriate times, I don't have great credit, and there are many people my age and younger who have already achieved things I will never...

"Don't lower your expectations to meet your performance. Raise your level of performance to meet your expectations. Expect the best of yourself, and then do what is necessary to make it a reality." Ralph Marston      I strive hard...

Everyone's expectations...ask anyone what they think of me, how they see me....and they will give a description of a well rounded, kind, caring genuine, honest, respectful, open mined, intelligent person. I am intelligent yes, but as...

When someone tries to tell you to be mindful of the needs of other, it is like brainwashing.  Selfishness in moderation is healthy.  Catering to everyone's expectations is a good way to get sick.

It has dawned to me that I was not being true to myself. I need my life back, my old self. And I felt like I was stressed out. I really don't have to be explaining anything. I can think for myself. I don't need any advice. And I...

I feel like I have to be what my parents want me to be. What my husband wants me to be. what my kids want me to be. What society wants me to be. I can't please everyone and I'm tired of trying. What about me, what about what I want to...

I realized somehow there should not be any expectation from anyone in our life. Not even from ourselves. Expectations cause trouble. make you sad. In love there is nothing like true love. If we expect to get true love , we will not be...

People always judge, i suppose it is in our nature and if we don't conform to what others believe to be the right way, then you have to be wrong, right? NO! we are all different, unique, special, talented and have different diverse...

I have reached a point in my life where I can no longer conform to what you want me to be, by ignoring what you are. I have struggled to mold myself into what you expect and it has never been good enough anyhow. I suppose it was a...

Remember that little honest-to-a-fault girl; with my name, my face, my soul?

Is it any wonder that she's gone?

Today you actually told me something to the effect of "Just smile, even if you don't feel it. You'll...
