Expected

I live in a world where certain things are expected of me.  We all do to some extent, I suppose.  I am expected to act a certain way, dress a certain way, do my job a certain way, raise my kids a certain way – at least in the eyes of those who dictate these expectations.  What I don’t like is when these expectations cross my “how I want to live my life” line and when the rules seems to be different for other people.  Should it not also be expected that at some point I’m going to stand up for myself?  I, personally, think expectations just set you up for disappointment.  So, here’s to me spending yet another day of my life being someone else’s disappointment.
