Expectations Vs Reality Quotes Novels & Stories

he said angrily. -"Everything you said is just speculation and not reality.

It can do ... wonders!" he exclaimed disappointingly.

"God, I’m exhausted and nothing even happened." Rain propped his feet up on the chair across from him, completely relaxed now. "You think this is bad? Wait till they're here. No sleep. Constant noise. Explosive poop." I shot him a glare. "Wow. Inspirational. Painting the dream here." He held up his hands. "Hey, man. I’m just setting expectations. Low expectations mean you’re less disappointed." "You're supposed to say something helpful," I said. "Like ‘we’ll figure it out’ or ‘you’re going to be a great dad.’ Not ‘prepare for a poopocalypse.’"

"And serve they shall. Forever. As the foundation we build our crossing upon. As the anchors we use to enter your reality. As the proof that your love makes excellent bait." Reality began to crack around them.

I just want to hear her speak because her voice has a calming quality that makes everything seem better. "Things are not necessarily how they seem. Once the reality becomes clear so they lose their charm and beauty, if I know how you want me to describe it, I will do the same.

There was a nagging feeling in my heart that something is amiss, but I tried to push it away. But now, her word forces me to think that my intuition might not be entirely wrong.

After using tissues to wipe my eyes and blow my nose, I cleared my throat. "We're still friends though and I know that should be enough. But it's not...

And I always thought that quote of his meant I need to do everything to make my dreams come true, but I think I got it mixed up."

“Are you going to cheat on him?” “Please, don't guilt trip me right now.” I hissed, looking round to be sure that no one was coming. “What? I'm not doing anything.” Shs rolled her eyes. “He's not so hyped up to shift back to his human state.” I sighed. “Maybe it's because he doesn't want to raise his hopes.” Michelle shrugged. “In the words of a wise woman in the Marvel Universe, ‘always expect disappointment, so you never really get disappointed’.”

“And what exactly do you consider real? The truth you want to hear or the truth as it is?” Her boldness surprised me, but I didn’t let it show. “What I want and what I expect are two different things.” She raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed. “Then maybe you should tell me what you expect, so I don’t waste your time.” I pushed off the doorframe and walked toward her. “I expect honesty, Anya. Can you manage that?” Her lips curved into a small, sarcastic smile. “From me? Of course not.” I laughed, low and sharp.

"Yeah, but I sure do hope that whatever I did comes up with a good result eventually, because I never experienced such a thing before." . "You will. Eventually. Don't be so pessimistic. Don't be too optimistic too. I mean. Let's just be realistic. That's how life is, right? Sometimes things go wrong, but more often times things go right." . "How so?" . "Well...

We are older; we had seen the world; we knew better than the younger generation, but in everyday life, they were the most fucked up. If you looked at their life, you would know how fucked up human relationships can be. So here was a piece of free advice, never, not even accidentally, heed any attention when they gave you a reality check. Trust me, you would be content, lived a good life without these bullshits.

I said " I know, I don't want you to forget everything our Lord Almighty did for us. Today you have a job, don't forget" she said As Jean Paul Sartre said " we can't paint a perfect picture of reality since even our perception of reality is partial" I have come to accept that everything is relative in this world.
