Expectations are the side effect of caring ⟡⋆.˚❀⋆.˚⟡

[AsikAwara]

Everyone says don't expect anything but no one tells you how. They say don't expect and you'll be happy. But how do you not expect from someone you talk to every day? From someone you share your thoughts with, your time, your emotions.

The more you care, the more expectations quietly grow. Not because you're demanding, but because you're genuine. You expect replies, effort, the same energy you give. And yes, sometimes it hurts when you don't receive what you naturally give.

But the truth is, expectations don't come from neediness. They come from attachment and care. Because when someone truly matters to you, expectations don't feel like a choice. They just happen.

Exactly! Expectation is actually another form of our care. It is impossible not to have hope from someone we love.
