The other day I was in the car with my two girlfriends. We had just finished walking Town Lake and we were talking about expectations of the people in our lives; mainly men.
My very smart girlfriend shared with me something someone had shared with her.
"Expectations are nothing more than premeditated resentments."
*ding ding ding ding*
The bells of epiphany rang high and low through my brain. Since then, my whole outlook on life seems to have changed. I've rededicated this summer to be the summer of non-commitments and love only for my son and myself.
I will take one day at a time and look at things at face value and not try to find the hidden meanings that are most likely not even there. I will learn what it is like to trust my instincts and go with the flow (if it kills me). Anyone who knows me, knows that this in itself will be a feat comparative to conquering Everest.
This is the summer that should have happened last year. I will retake it, own it, relish in it and learn from it.
