Wishes


There is a reason when people say don't put your hopes up, don't wish too hard, and don't expect, 'cause it'll bring you down when they are not met.

One should never measure their worth against their hopes, wishes, and expectations. But who are we non other than a mere human of flesh that feels. I wonder what am I worth of. Judging from the three, not much to those that meant the most.

As shallow as it sounds, I do live on approvals, appreciations, and of other's affection. This has made me sound like a parasite living off other's but again, I am only human. How am I suppose to live with my very self like a plant who photosynthesizes? If I could, God would've made me a plant of stems and leaves.

A foolish hopeful, a selfish wishes, that's what I am to you. I don't know anymore. Tell me.
