Perhaps that would have been a more acceptable path, than trying to improve.

I’d say this one feels lighter.

Today I realized that each of us has some kind of expectations from one another — and we have absolutely no idea what they are. Yesterday, someone very close to me — someone I talk to for at least two hours every day about all sorts of things — got upset with me over something that meant absolutely nothing to me.

After thinking it through today, I understood that I was wrong. Because in her world, it really mattered. What’s important to me is different, but that’s okay — I made a mental note for the future, and we move on.

I think expectations are something we should work on too — but only if both sides want to. If there’s no willingness, then maybe the connection was never really there to begin with?
