ppl say do not expect anything from others because if expectations are not fulfilled we get hurt, but is it really possible not to when u r close to someone?
well, maybe it's not or maybe it is, but one thing which I have learnt is not to open all ur guards in front of anyone because ppl are just a part of ur life who come and go like the waves of sea which touches ur feet, calm u down and then they leave..whether they are ur frnds, family or stranger, they all are same, if u'll rely on them u r bound to get hurt. The difference is, ppl who are close to u are capable of affecting u more than others so it's better to just listen to ur inner voice becoz no one can understand u better than u urself.
love urself, be independent and smile because this is what makes YOU! :)
