winter has arrived

The winter has arrived. Its getting chilly and darker. Reminds me about the end of summer back home, reminds me of family and friends I miss. You always miss a best friend hey, as hard as it is life has to move on. It hurts sometimes to know your not involved in peoples life as much as you should. I know you cannot blame time, but life gets busy sometimes and you "forget", you leave it to later and you think one day it will all be fine. Maybe it wont, maybe its a new life on the horizon, at least I have the memories. They will always stay.
I went for a walk tonight, it was nice and chilly, dark and I had my ipod. I started thinking about expectations. Maybe we set them to high, not only on our self but on others as well. People are who they are, if you know a person you know how they are like, their good sides and their bad. So why is it that we expect things from them that we know will not come throu? we are really setting our self up for disappointment and the other person to feel like a failure. Im not saying we should not have any expectations on people, but maybe we should give our selfs and others a break sometimes.
We are only human and humans come with faults.
Life is a journey even though u feel like your not going anywhere, once you reach your goals you realise you where on your way all along. It was just to early to see.
