People don't ask to be placed on pedestals so is it really their fault when they fall off of them?

I honestly don't think so.

Can you blame someone for breaking your heart when they don't even know they're holding it in their hands?

Probably not.

However when someone I've held in high regard disappoints me it hurts a LOT because I don't hold many people there. Fewer get close enough to my heart to do it damage. Fewer still are the ones that have both my regard and my heart.

You are the dangerous ones.

In 'The Devil's Rejects' Otis says "I keep my expectations low, that way I'm never disappointed."

Throughout my life this has always been valid for me. However, I don't think I should have to go through life with low expectations.

I deserve better than that.

So do you.

Recently, I allowed some things to hurt me way more than they probably should have. I'm still disappointed, but maybe I expected far too much from this particular person at this point in time.

I am also quite possibly guilty of wrongly assuming that our feelings are in the same place when, in fact, they couldn't be futher away from one another.

Sad. But true.

"People see what they want to see."

Maybe I'm looking at someone I love with all my heart and I'm seeing who they were and not who they are.
