Left out and burnt out

You try and try and try to make things the way you want them but in the end it's never what you thought it would be. I once said "don't have expectations of people because you will always be let down". And I 100 percent stand behind that statement. You build relationships with coworkers, school mates and random people you encounter only to hold them to a standard they could never live up to. You might go out of your way for someone to do something nice or show you care and in the back of your mind you will say " They would do the same for me". Well god damn it, prove it. Step up do something because when push comes to shove life is short and if you don't make the best of every second then your one person with one oar in a row boat, you will go in circles until the rain comes and washes you away. Thank god for my wife, I know i always have someone to row me ashore.
