Great Expectations

July 2nd, 2010

I try not to expect too much from people. Really, truly, I have no real faith in mankind. My political and philosophical alignment has me hope with the greatest of hopes that we are capable of our own change within, but rationally I believe there’s no way. No fucking way. Have you seen the people that live today? Monstrous.

But it really bothers me when I let an expectation be known  and it is ignored. I am not judging a person, as in they are no longer worthy of trust, but just that they can never exceed to what I believed they could be. My seemingly naivete is exposed. I feel vulnerable that I would even entrust this faith in a person.

In addition to this, I don’t understand people who claim they care so much about my opinion, then when I offer it, completely disregard its existence. Why the fuck would you even bother for it then? I guess people are looking for some reassurance through me, and apparently I do not offer it. I am not the person to tell you what you want to hear.

If something is expected of me, I will deliver, unless it’s against my principles (I’m very Kantian in nature). If I happen once in a lifetime place an expectation on someone else, I really do expect them to fulfill it. If they don’t, I automatically label it as a failure of mankind. We’re just too selfish to care about doing things for other people.

I’m an embittered spinster at the age of 23. Perfect.

Inspiration for a shit life

March 7th, 2010

I found this in some document I was writing:

In any person’s life, a secret want, a secret longing to be something more than ordinary is inherent to a human. There are few who have the strength to give into this want and risk life and limb to become something extraordinary inhuman. But only when we truly give ourselves over to ourselves and not society will we become something of worth.
