Expectations

Life continues to throw us curve balls weather they are happy surprises or drama we can always count on them coming.

People are always setting themselves up for failure and sometimes success. We typically do this by setting our hopes to high or too low. For example MeTo and I have tried many different things to keep our love life happy and interesting, and due to the size of certain equipment we have had to take our time.

Most recently we tried something new that I thought would be one of the hottest experiences, to my surprise I was not thrilled and found myself trying not to ruin the moment, although his commentary proved he was in tuned with the whole situation. I think it was a case of having my hopes way to high to what it may taste like.

The Sunday before we went to our first Philly Pride and that was an example of the rewards we sometimes get for having extremely low expectations. I expected to see the side of the community that I typically do not associate with yet I found many people to look like the rest of the world, there were families and the entertainment was the same wholesome venue you can find on many public television channels. I was impressed and had a good time. Best of all I had my friends with me and I even made some new ones.

There was that typical awkward moment where I bumped into an ex but it was quite thrilling to be able to introduce them to MeTo. I do however think if Philly pride didn’t charge there would be a better turn out and a more interesting experience.
