girl scouts told me to shoot for the stars

I was told recently by someone I care very much about that I set my expectations too high so then I am always just let down. I guess it's only a little ironic that if that were the case, this person must also believe himself to be a let down, which is most certainly not the case.One of my favorite things to tell people used to be that I set my goals a little higher than what I thought I could actually attain, so that I did my very best regardless and even got lucky and caught a break every now and then, which is what I would consider the person who brought about this blog.

But it infuriated me. I realized that when you put it that way, I just sounded high maintenance. If it's not the ideal restaurant, or street for the restaurant to be on with the ideal ambience, across from a cupcake stand, or a big tree with lights in it, then I would not eat, just sit on the curb sulk and find a way to nurse my weak little margarita and be unsatisfied. But even on the occasions I do that, it only lasts about 10 minutes then I'm on to the next little cafe in the sky I think would make a good alternative. And I can deal with the disappointment if that next place has fluorescent lights, gag me, because the anticipation of what I think could be exactly what I've pictured in my mind is a fun chase. And I'm always chasing.
