Seeing potential in someone can be a double-edged sword sometimes I think. It can prompt us to encourage others, but it also makes the disappointment that much worse. “i keep thinking the best about people, just desperately wanting them to measure up to what i know they have the potential to be.”- I do this all the time too.

YOU always deserve the best, and i cant imagine that anyone would ever have a reason to treat you any less than wonderful! hello there lady. firstly, i love hello kitty bandaids and buy them myself. secondly, i love the bag. now, onto he meat of the post here. i think i would rather see the best in people, and be dissapointed sometimes, than always see the worst, and wait to be surprised. does that even make sense? i guess what im saying is, like you, id rather walk around with a positive outlook about people than think the worst.

I'm the Wiz! I'm the Wiz- and nobody beats me. I don't even understand how you have time to blog so much. Pretty much by the time I think about blogging I'm like- go to bed now at 1 in the morning or blog? not really much of a contest there. they were taking a tour of the polygamist compound with one of the women and all I could think was, "really? you can't get that unibrow taken care of? really, not at all? "Oscar Wilde once wrote that the man who expects nothing will never be disappointed. I don't expect anything from you Delia. Will you disappoint me?" Delia turns out to be a spy, dating Fell just to steal secrets. But sometimes, that's life. I’m the Wiz! I’m the Wiz! I’m the Wiz- and nobody beats me.
