Expectations and Reality

Reality is never what you expect it to be. When you're a kid you assume that when an adult you will magically transform into a superhuman who knows it all and always does the right thing. As time progresses, I think certain areas will get better. Sometimes they do. Some experiences you think of as big positive things that couldn't ever be painful. And yet, they happen more differently than you ever supposed and sometimes situations you didn't account for cause the most excruciating pain you never expected. People you count on your whole life to accept and support you can change their minds, or close them. Life goes on and we never know what may be around the bend. We just have to keep breathing, and listening, and believing.
