I admit that a friend of mine once said, "Expectations are nothing more than premeditated resentments." I admit that, while wickedly funny, I find that statement more true than not. I admit that part of my adventures into my "stuff" recently, is to admit to myself that after so many disappointments over the years, I have learned to expect nothing. I mean that. I expect pretty much nothing from anyone. I know that I can count on my Dad always. Other than that, I have no real expectation that people will actually follow through on anything they say. I admit that I was not planning on admitting that out loud on the boards, but it seemed timely, so what the hell. I admit that I'm not bitter about it, it's just a protective mechanism that I seem to have developed over time. I admit that I never really equated a "lack of follow-through" by people with mistrust, but in all actuality, that seems to be exactly what it is. I admit that part of me wants to erase this entire post. I admit that I will not erase this post because I think I need to see it written out, by me, in some fashion.
