I still love this picture.
Expectations
From the day you're born,
You're bombarded with expectations
From everyone around you.
Your parents expect you to be a normal child
With no problems,
And they later learn
That dream gets shattered.
Your friends expect you to be perfect in grade school,
Or at least be cool, funny,
And popular.
In high school you're expected to learn how to drive,
Know everyone,
Be liked by everyone,
Take classes everyone else likes
And avoid the classes people think are for nerds or weird people.
As an adult you are expected to be successful,
Even if the previous events of your life
Never set you up for it.
And when you die,
You are expected to have had a great life
And to be fulfilled.
Oh how funny the world is...
