I am sitting here in my car in front of a shut KFC listening to sad songs and maybe even crying in between just because I didnt expect things to be sooo real and scary than actually being fictional and beautiful.
••• The key/solution to most teenage locks/problems is to expect everything or expect nothing. (It will make sense at the end of this blog, trust me) we all just expect everything to be perfect beautiful and good and amazing that we completely forget the fact that things can get bad at any point.
••• I dont know how many more needles do you need to burst the I-HOPE/WISH-EVERYTHING-GOES-WELL bubble but you do need to burst it pretty soon. Everything cant be fucking amazing and mind blowing and perfect. Not everything is gold and diamonds (ewww why did I even type that)
••• You need to learn to expect both good and bad sides of a situation. Your expectations decide if you be disappointed or if you be happy with the consequences of any situation. You always need to be ready with an answer to "What if...?" Of any freaking situation.
••• For instance, though not self depreciating, my parents never expected me to be so ugly( just facts, duh!)
••• This lockdown was supposed to last for 15 days and yet here we are, in a complete quarantine for more than 4 months.
••• Take a coin. Choose Heads. Flip it. For the split seconds that the coin is in the air, notice your mind state. You obviously want the coin toned in heads. But WHAT IF it doesnt? WHAT IF this wasnt just a some coin flip but an important decision? WHAT IF it landed on Tails? What would you do then? (This is the most idiotic example. I know)
••• I know the questions of what if it didnt go good or as planned kill all the buzz and excitement and all the positivity from the situation. But how long can you hold back onto "POSITIVITY AND POSITIVE THOUGHTS"?
••• Being positive helps but almost everyone has a lose knot tied about themselves being positive and completely forgetting/ignoring the negative expectations. There is a huge difference between your positive thoughts/positivity and your good imagination and trust me most of us dont know this.
••• You cant just fucking ignore an entire side of a problem just cus it doesnt make you FEEL good right now.
••• Reality can be good, can be bad, but your expectations and your point of view decide how you mentally handle a situation. It's all about your perspective and naive judgements at the end of the day.
••• You can cry cus you are disappointed with the consequences or you could slowly learn how to expect both negative and positive sides to turn out or dont expect anything at all (highly ain't suggesting that)
••• MORAL OF THE STORY: DONT FUCK UP YOURSELF BY BEING DUMB ENOUGH TO JUST EXPECT GOOD AND BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING THINGS.
WITH LOVE
