Like what they always say, "when there are no expectations, there are no disappointments".
So I spent the entire day expecting something from someone. And this expected thing from this someone never came. It never used to be like this, but I guess I it became so natural for this someone to do this something that I took it for granted, and started expecting it. Then one day, when the cycle breaks, ka-boom, you feel disappointed. And trust me; its not a nice feeling.
You feel as though your feelings have been played. A ton of negative thoughts fill your mind- and no, I do not want to elaborate on them- thats like getting the same blow twice.
However, if you trace all the way back to the root of the problem: you realise that the reason for your misery is completely unfounded! It was your fault to begin with- you set those high expectations for the person. The gratitude you once felt for those extra things the person did for you turned into something taken for granted!
After this moral-of-the-day dawned upon me, I felt so much better.

And guess what? I got what I was waiting for.
Just that from now onwards, I'll be taking it with gratitude, and not for granted. :)
