Expectations (2)

I sorta don't like when people find out about my website because then I feel like I have to live up to their expectations with the things I write. If they're expecting funny things, I feel like I need to think of funny things. Or if ... [fill in the blank; I don't know what people expect]. I'm sure people are bored when I write about Christian things, but I won't stop doing that. And I bet some people are surprised at how negative I can be. Or maybe they're not surprised. [The thing to remember is that everything's a joke.]
But if I really didn't want people to see the things I write, I wouldn't publish a website, something that's available to the population of the entire somewhat modern world. And I also wouldn't include names and keywords that are sure to increase traffic to my site.
So if you have expectations for my site, try to lower them a little bit. Don't expect anything groundbreaking or amazing. A wise person once uttered, "The road to happiness is paved with low expectations." Depressing quote, but the idea is that if you expect a lot, you'll be disappointed. If you expect a little, you might be pleasantly surprised. Or not. Stupid wise person. [Actually, it was Grishma Rana. I'm not saying she's stupid. I'm just adding her name in here as another searchable term. Like all people I reference, I wonder if she reads my site? Better yet, I wonder how long it'll take before she reads my site?] #psychology

Hey, I found it (finally!) :-) I was bored and did a google search on my name tonight and found a link on your site! Wow, that's definitely a nice quote from a stupid wise person. That's still my motto-- it keeps me happy and sane. I like your site btw. I think I'll check back ocassionally, and don't worry I'll keep my expectations low.
Cheers, Grishma
