Sometimes the things that hurt us the most are not what happens… but what we expected to happen.

Expectations can be beautiful they give us hope, goals, and something to look forward to. But when we attach our happiness to a specific outcome, we give that outcome the power to control our emotions.

A person didn’t reply or behave the way you hoped.
A plan didn’t work out the way you imagined.
A dream is taking longer than expected.

And suddenly, disappointment appears.

Maybe the secret is not having no expectations, but learning to hold them lightly. Work hard, hope deeply, but leave room for life to surprise you.

Protect your peace. Not everything has to happen exactly as you imagined for it to still be good. 🤍

Coffee ☕️ time

Now let's lock in ⚡️ after 2 cups of Joe ☕️

done round one session even tho my sis is playing this 😭😭

but i was listening to this and the volume was like crazy to not hear eprem's mekilesiles 😒

One thing has been on my mind though...

START WORKING ON YOUR OWN PROJECTS as soon as possible.

Look, when I tell you this, it's really more helpful than anything else.

You break things, and you fix them. (Sometimes those fixing sessions will make you nuts 😂.) I know that, but you learn... like, A LOT.

You won't just become a developer who knows every syntax. You'll become someone who can actually build something, fix bugs, understand what's going on under the hood, and so much more.

I even got bored watching tutorials, fr, because I'm just sitting there watching someone else build something while I do nothing.

I know you'll say, "I can just build along with them."

Sure... but you're still following what they're doing. You might even zone out and start thinking about other stuff instead of truly understanding what you're building.

So start working on your own projects.

Even if it's a project someone else has already built. Even if it's just something that interests you.

Look around.

There are so many problems you face in your daily life that are waiting for someone to solve them.

Maybe that someone is you.
