I recently got a guitar and have been attempting to learn to play. I’ve seen Justin Bieber play guitar. Taylor Swift. The Jonas Brothers. I figured, how hard can it be?
I thought I would be like this:
Instead I was more like this:
This got me thinking about expectations versus reality.
Expectation: I am an intelligent person so therefore I will be rewarded for that.
Reality: These people have a near billion-dollar empire and are not even literate.
Expectation: I’ve been working out. I think I can pull off a swimsuit.
Reality: “OH DEAR GOD. WHAT IS THAT THING?”
Expectation: I spent 4 hours studying for this test. I should be ok.
Reality: What the f@ck is this? Am I even in the right classroom?
Expectation: I’m going to take a picture with my friends and it’s going to look super cute.
Reality: We’re all going to pose with our hands on our hips and a huge fake smile on our faces while we take fifteen of the same photo (all of which we will, of course, post on facebook)
Expectation: I am only going to have one Mountain Dew today.
Reality: I only had one 12-pack of Mountain Dew today.
Well, maybe the last one is just me.
