Some Thoughts on Expectations

Expectations kill relationships as I'm sure you've heard. It hasn't killed mine yet however, I'm almost certain that if I don't change my course soon I'll be saying R-I-P to my relationship. Relationships are delicate and...they're designed to be in "the moment"...or so I'm finding. I guess you could say I have a hard time living in the moment. It's fleeting to me, shallow almost. Taking a moment for surface value and never considering the ripple effect it will have in the grand scheme of things...humanity. (Did I just over-complicate this?) Anyways, a moment comes and goes like a fly buzzing around  a vacant room, never taking the same path twice, always missing the opportunity to be predictable and consistent. I'll be honest, the unknown scares me. Especially in a relationship.
