Great Expectations.....

How was life before movies? Really. Movies have set the standard for how we gage our lives. Disney single handedly shaped our expectations of love. What did people expect out of love before Disney? Left to their own devices, with no outside influences, was life any different? What did women expect out of a relationship before they knew they could be "swept off their feet" or "carried off into the sunset." Disney could have single-handedly killed relationships because he gave women too many expectations. And you know how I feel about expectations, they are the biggest buzz kill you could ever bestow on a relationship and a successful relationship is best made without them. The minute you expect something out of someone you are ruining a good thing. If what you expected to happen manifests itself then great! But when it doesn't you have given yourself unnecessary disappointment and created doubt in your other half. But ALWAYS expect great things in yourself, because if no one ever had great expectations for themselves we wouldn't have the movies. And even though they blur the lines between fantasy and reality they help us to dream....and I have nothing against dreaming.
