Expectation vs Reality

Calling123 September 29th

Hello Hello Lovely people!

I have been getting soooo many reality checks ✅ lately, it's kinda crazy😩.

So, in honor 🏆 of my reality checks, I would like to ask if your life was captured in the “expectation vs. reality” meme, what would the two pictures be?

Much Love 💛

@Calling123 love it lol, it'd be a picture of Abraham Lincoln in his chair for expectation and a picture of my cat profile for reality

This is hilarious! 🤣 I can just imagine it. The cat memes that always fill my feed are really shining through right now! ✨😸

@Calling123 hello there, well for me the expectation would have me in my rich girl error, enjoying my days with my friends, reality would be me struggling with a pile of books looking worn out.

Expectation: Me as Mark (Ace Goodheart) from the Sci-Fi anime series - in a white leather suit, a space helmet with a fancy curved visor, flying like an angel, with feather-like wings.

Reality: Me as a semi-bald guy in a baseball cap and a t-shirt, taking my disabled friend in a wheelchair for a walk or shopping.

Bottom line: Sometimes reality exceeds fantasies.

Although I don't watch anime as much, I definitely do the same with books 😅

Sometimes fantasies are more entertaining 🤷‍♀️

@Calling123 Me too, but it was the only anime I knew in my childhood (and probably through my entire life, too 😉 ).

Oh, yes, taking out my light sabre from three feet of snow just by the force of the will, or meeting Yoda in person would be great 😃

@Calling123 Expectation: I am always surrounded with people who cares for me or at least think me as a good friend.

Reality: I am lonely with friends at school only and one of them is toxic. 😞

I can understand how you may feel. 😔 I went through a similar experience with my school friends a little while ago. But don't worry, if you ever need a friend to talk to, your 7 Cups community is here for you! 🤗

wishing you the best! 💫

Much Love 💛

@lilyofthevalley0527 I totally get you on this topic except the crying part and I don't even remember how long it has been since I cried my heart out with no heavy feelings.
