I once expected so much from others and I always ended up being heartbroken (only once I got more than I even expected from someone, but I was too stupid, young and immature to handle it I guess).

Then I started to "hope" and have expectations from myself only. I am at the point that I fully realize that no matter how capable, tough, educated, strong-willed blah blah blah you may be, if luck and timing aren't there, you may end up building sand-castles every single day.

At this point, I am considering to follow my stars (and whatever they include). Like the great Arnold Schwarzenegger said, "Follow your stars, even if you never touch them, they will definitely take you somewhere."

Could it be true? I have no idea, but I am willing to try. Life's a bitch; I know that for sure!

PS. No matter how good you "fix" a shattered dream, it will still be a fixed shattered dream.
