  1. you’re expecting me to do great things.
    i’m afraid to follow through.
    what if i’m not so great.
    what if the outcome is short of what i’m looking for.
    it’s as if i’ll never reach potential.

  2. im expecting something. i dont know what it is yet, but i know thats its going to be something that is going to effect the rest of my life. i know this becasue, my life is in that state in which any thing can happen. or nothing. i dont know which it is going to be, and that is the scariest part of the whole deal. the fact that it is all up to us.

  3. my mum to walk in any moment. always have low expectations then when you’re expecting something and it doesnt happen you wont feel sad! it will minimise the pain. i do like expecting things though because it feels awesome when it happens so its really a catch 22. expected the unlikely it will always happen!

  4. Man, when your lady is expecting, you should expect that you might need to accept a larger role in the household. And not just the ordinary things. Not solely chores.

    For example, potential new role: Masseuse.

    We know, we know. She hasn’t been able to reach her feet for a while. But, while rubbing those noxious bunions, just think:

    Calm wife, calm fetus. Calm fetus, calm baby. Calm baby, calm wife.

    Calm no-longer-expecting wife,
    expecting wife.

    Eh?

    The logical husband. Understand her now, get understood later. (Results may vary.)

  5. I can’t stop expecting people to act the way I want when I want. I need to expect that they will always do the opposite and just prepare my self for that

  7. “I’m expecting him to come any moment.”
    “Well, that’s…good.” Actually, it wasn’t. That meant we only had a few moments to search the house, grab the memory card, meet back up outside, and get out of here.

  8. I sit here n the coffee expecting something truly amazing to happen – a smile from a random stranger, an old friend just knowing I was here and stopping by to see me, winning the lottery, finding out that I truly do love him.. But here I am expecting something while nothing deep down nothing will happen.. And life will go on.

  9. Glancing around to make sure no one else could hear, I hissed to Dani, “Do you think the Swan’s… expecting?”
    “What?”
    Shar and I exchanged a look. I love Dani, she’s really great, but she’s so DENSE sometimes, you know?
    “Pregnant. Do you think she’s pregnant, Dani?”

  10. Expectations need to be set high. They give a you a sense of purpose, a thing to do in this wacked out world. When you’re expecting something and let down, as a child, it’s a major thing, as a teen, not so much but still. As an adult, you’re in trouble.

  11. It’s better to hope for the best than expect the worst. Yet right now, I should not be expecting anything at all. Here’s to expecting the best.

  12. She found out she was expecting only moments before she was supposed to say good bye. She sat in the train station bathroom, on the verge of tears, she couldn’t decide if they were happy or sad.

  13. Were you expecting to find something of note here, you would be leaving sorely disappointed. As it is, you should simply appreciate the experience of being able to read what I have written. I do not mean that as vanity, but merely as a thankfulness for a lack of illiteracy.

  14. I’m expecting something to happen to me. Something amazing. Something new. Something that I could remember and tell people about. I want to burst-all my particles flying into the sun. I don’t want anybody to stop me. Ever. I want to breathe my own air. I want my moment of peace.

  15. I’m having a child with the man I love, we know that this would happen, but we weren’t ready.

  16. I’m expecting to fail. I accept that. We all fail, all the time, probably every day, without realizing it. Isn’t it strange, then, that the ones who do not reflect on their tiny failures, the ones who ignore them rather than dwelling on them, are the ones who keep moving forward?

  17. is never healthy. expecting a reaction, or lack of one. this only leads to trouble. open up let whatever shit is coming your way fuck you up and leave you wiser. then teach others.

  20. Expectations can ruin an opportunity. If you expect, you may be disappointed in the end. Therefore, I suggest to myself and others to expect less, and to live for the moment more often. It is important to know your place in the moment rather than in what will happen in the future. Expectations lead to disappointment, over expectation, and over-analysis.

  21. There was a woman sitting on a bench in Central Park. She was obviously heavily pregnant. Her husband had left here with barely any money. Her job was worthless. Her mother was a drunk, her father a druggie. Where could she turn to? Whom could she turn to in this time of great need? Her expectancy for her pregnancy was close.

  22. Expectations are rarely met, unless of course you don’t have any. In which case they aren’t met, but you don’t really care, as you had no idea what to expect. I never really know what to expect when i move to a ne place, but I usually look forward to it.

  23. i’m expecting big things like diamond rings. i’m expecting that i’ll be someone. something big. i’m expecting to find a lot of fortune like famous ones and be awesomely gorgeous. i’m expecting to stay happy and have tons of reasons to make lots of money. i’m expecting you’ll be there for the show and if you’re not i’ll make sure you know.

  25. I was expecting today to be more exciting…. I suppose I will just have to make it exciting on my own. Maybe see a movie, go out on a hike, SOMETHING! Maybe not even exciting. Productive? I think I’ll bring my sketchbook to work… Then I can create something exciting from my own imagination since I can’t find anything here in the real world :]

  26. mother, baby, child , anxiously,awaiting a surprise, wanting hoping for something taking for granted the event in question wanting something more always feeling on edge about something.

  27. Expecting a baby. I am not expecting a baby yet. Expectations are such odd things. When we expect too much out of people, we become disappointed when they don’t deliver yet we are surprised when great things come from someone who we don’t expect to achieve much at all.

  28. I am expecting a new man in may life. I have been divorced for about a year now. I want to find love in my life again. I am waiting on God. Until then I will praise God. He has blessed me with a great life. Life is good and God is great. I know his plans for me will be far greater than what I expect~

  29. expectations make us fail as society.
    Our own expectations should be the ones to be satisfied.
    Forget the others.
    Expect nothing.
    From no one.

  30. We’re all expecting something. Today I want this, tomorrow I’ll need that. We’re all expecting the world to keep going, for our plans to be fulfilled, for there to be a tomorrow. But what if there’s not? What if all our plans are in vain and tomorrow there’s nothing, nothing to expect, just nothing. What if, I guess, what if it’s there but we’re not?

  31. I am expecting a lot from myself. As I approach my senior year in the fall, I am hoping I will complete my analyzing on my two AP English books, finish all the basics of the college apps, and do good things. I NEED to do this. To prove everybody wrong by getting into a good college and show that I can do this.

  32. I feel like whenever I am expecting something, it does not happen. Sometimes it is good, and sometimes it is bad. I try not to have any expectations because if I do, then all that can happen is that they will be broken down.

  33. What are you expecting me to write? I’m not expecting anything. I was expecting something different from this exercise, although what, I do not know. Thanks for letting me write.
    I’m expecting the time to run out right about no

  34. I am expecting to go home in 2 weeks and I don’t know how I feel about it. I want to sit on a swing and just cast away my worries. Kicking the sand and pushing my feet along as I swing back and forth. A big tree is in front of me and I want to climb it.

  35. It’s a time when you’re anxiously awaiting something, nervous or excited about it. Maybe you aren’t sure when it will come, or maybe you know the exact date, but either way, it somehow seems to take a life time to get something you’re expecting. Waiting is half the fun, though.

  36. im expecting, accepting, a reward from the next thing.
    whether big or small i just want to reject stings
    im not comfortable out, my zone of ease
    so i climb my ladder, to the top of those trees.

  37. I am expecting a car to pick me up. It hasn’t come for over an hour. Great. Time to call cousin Billy…

  38. waiting thinking about whats going to happen, hoping its going to be amazing, waiting for that wonderful moment, a kiss, a hug, seeing the one you love, wishing for something, waiting on good news, bad news.

  39. I never know whether it’s to better to expect the worst, or to just take life as it comes. It seems like expectation breeds anxiety, where being fairly relaxed and carefree, open to opportunity and willing to explore leads to contentment as well as adventure.

  40. Right now, I am expecting a call from this girl named Katty from the Sick Puppies World Crew. She will be interviewing me about becoming an ambassador. I would LOVE to become an ambassador because I absolutely love Sick Puppies and want to do what I can to help them achieve ‘world domination’. :) They are my favorite band and have been since June 9, 2010. Shim is my future husband. So I guess I’m expecting love with this too, but not really. Only joking! ;-)
