What is perfection, or lack of expectation~

When you start to grasp the wonder of life and what it may contain, you begin to gain expectation... Expectation of people, places, where and who you invest your time in. You gain expectation of yourself. you create this image in your mind. Its stuck there, and that image you see for yourself, the way you see your life going, who your gonna be with, or if your gonna be alone, where your gonna end up.. you pertain to this image on a daily basis. I guess some may call it a goal, others a dream never lived up to, or possibly even juvenial bliss?

On the contrary, Expectation can be a huge tool of hurt and pain. you may expect to much of something, and if you never get it, or may even come close to it, but cause its not exactly what you expected, disappointed appears. I am trying everyday to live my life with low or no expectation. I expected to much of myself and others at one point in my life, coming to realize and to terms with the idea of imperfection. How imperfection can be beauty and can make us more different than the next... *smiles* although no one is perfect, the idea of perfection with the part of us that has always enjoyed innocense and the idea of fairytale> has not every little girl pictured their big house with the white picket fence, kids, a husband who was her knight in shining armor?...
