was telling a friend abt how its best not to have too many expectations in life...the lesser, the happier you are...and this was not just sounds-cool-BS...it has worked with me.

am kind of an extremist in a very lazy, one-eyebrow-raised way, whatever that means...

I either have very high expectations from people or none...(to digress or not, really, I either have dress to the nines phases or go without any jewellery at all, even earrings, in rags phases...

and I find, as I've travelled through much of my lifespan, I have shed almost all my expectations from anyone...was it due to any social disappointments way back in my gawky adolescence, I dont know and dont care really...now, if I get a prompt-enough reply (thats a whole other post about how uncool it is to be ready with the response anywhere), a thanks, a smile without any reason from a person from the other end of any spectrum, a kind gesture, or even an honest-to-goodness arbit how are you mail from an acquaintance/friend, I feel good...

is this a kind of reverse snobbery in terms of high standards?...maybe. Funnily enough, I have high stds for myself in any and all equations...so, maybe I am a rank full-of-myself person or just a sad loser. whatever...

anyhow, the lighter the baggage, the happier the journey. and no forking out dough for the extra kilos...
