Nobody owes you anything, even when they ought to,
Nobody owes you anything, even when they actually do
Nobody owes you anything, even when they promise to
Nobody owes you anything, even when they really should
Nobody owes you anything, even when it’s fair to
Nobody owes you anything.
You owe yourself the most
You are the only one who ought to
You are the only one with reason to
You are the only one who should
Go easy on the expectations, be grateful
for what you do get in life.

You and only you can validate you. When u expect validation from others you are definitely setting yourself up for disappointment! You might get it from others but are you really willing to sit back and wait for people to tell you what you already know? Are you sure what they tell you is really what you want to hear?

Great post. This can spare one a lot of disappointment.
