When It's Not Mutual....

Do you feel that sometimes things and feelings are not mutual? When you look forward to something a lot more than the other person is? When you have different expectations? Different priorities lead to disappointment of one? When your intentions are not returned the same way?

The hurt and disappointment if you had expected something more. Joy when you receive more than expected. Guilt when you realise that you could have done more.

If only one can turn back the clock. Realise the disappointment that is around the corner. Realise the good things/deeds right under one's nose and take time to appreciate them. To show appreciation. To suggest changes. Wished some words were never uttered. Wished certain thoughts were spoken. Hindsight is always 20/20. Live and learn.

Sigh. Yes I only know too well how that feels. But reminding yourself that by taking the risk of investing time and energy into something you're not too sure will bear returns you become larger than life, works. Because you dare. Because you believe. And because you are a much bigger person than most people. Yes. It does hurt and exasperate knowing that theres a possibility that your late night efforts will go to waste, but let God be the Judge of your work. Have faith. Thats what I'm hanging on to now.
