on expectations

i like me better when i’m with you.
— I Like Me Better, Lauv

: i don’t want to waste my money on trying new boba if it turns out not good.

: well, don’t have expectations.

at first, i thought it meant:

“if you don’t have expectations, then you won’t have disappointment,”

but now i think,

yea you are right:

don’t have expectations,

and experience life as it is,

sometimes it brings you the most surprises.

because that was what happened:

that i always run into you,

when it was least expected.

but seriously,

what could you possibly have against a boba that makes you say these words?

regardless,

i always go back to the one that i love,

although i have tried so many others.

not because i have expectations;

but because in this whole damn world

that is so uncertain,

i desire something,

at least one thing

that is consistent.
