equilibrium

i'm pretty sure i'll be happier overall once i lower my expectations and accept that very few people will treat me as well as or better than i'd treat them. whoever coined the phrase 'out of sight out of mind' knew exactly what he/she was talking about. (and that's why, when people go above my expectations, i'm so happy that i gift them with homemade bundt cakes, cupcakes, pies, doughnuts, canneles etc.)
