Expectations

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't suppose to ever let us down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts. You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you'll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.
I have entered into the world of online dating with big dreams and an open mind, but with little expectations. Sure it's exciting to open your inbox and discover dozens of messages and winks from strangers, but in this search for the almighty soulmate your heart will probably be crushed and your ego bruised. Brush the silence and "he's not that into you" vibe off and continue marching along the yellow brick road.
If you put your hopes on the top tier you will most likely feel like you got the short end of the stick. So aim high, start a conversation with the gorgeous model who you most likely would never approach in person and see where life takes you. If nothing else there is a funny story to be told.
