“Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get — only what you are expecting to give — which is everything. What you will receive in return varies. But it really has no connection with what you give. You give because you love and cannot help giving.”
— Katharine Hepburn


assumptions.
expectations.

two things life would be better without.
the channels of bitterness,
the source of gloom.
some might say it signifies trust,
others say it propels people to a better tomorrow.
but more often than not,
it leads us to a state of nothingness,
where irrational demands birth forth when we have absolutely no clue what we want anymore,
or perhaps what we want is just to throw a tantrum or two,
or wreak some havoc.

funny how love can make a normal day seem brighter,
and then again make a normal day seem gloomier too.

every victory leads to an obstacle of higher difficulty,greater pain.
to love with no assumptions,
to give with no expectations.
is this really possible?

steer my eyes from the gutter and keep me looking at the stars.
