Hopefulness vs. Expectations

If you give without expecting anything in return, the chance of getting hurt go down significantly, sometimes to nothing.

This is hard to do, if you're like me and you believe in the goodness of others.

If you give while remaining hopeful that there will be reciprocation, you might get hurt but that's life.

If there's anything I've learned through those difficult life lessons, it's that the only person you can rely on is yourself.

That said, be good to yourself. Be your own best friend. Recognize that you've got what it takes to make yourself whole.

Love yourself.

Keep the hope, but lose the expectations.
