Expectations part II August 24, 2008

I realized after talking with my sweet mango that I didn’t finish my thoughts in an earlier post about my expectations. Overall I’m learning that I can’t assume to I know what my family and other people think or want from me. It creates such intense and unnecessary pressure, which strains my confidence. I want to stop this negative cycle that seems to sneak up on me two times a year. All I can do is let go of that self-made pressure to please others and meet their demands. Then I can do what I want to do and not have that nagging feeling that I’m letting someone down. The only person I think I let down when I let myself get bogged down by these insecurities is-me.
