Things aren't going exactly as planned right now. It's not entirely bad, but it's just not how we expected it to be. To some, it might be very disappointing to be in this position, but fortunately, I never really expected THAT thing to happen so it wasn't so bad.

If I had expected THAT thing to happen, then I would've been really really depressed and disappointed. But I only hoped. And in hoping, you don't really expect things to happen, you wish for the best but you also know that the things you wish for might not really happen. When you hope, there's less chances of being disappointed, because when you hope, you also acknowledge the other side of things, which is the "not happening" part whereas if you expect, you believe that one and only one thing, that it will happen. And if it doesn't, that's what's really disappointing.

I'm not making sense but whatver, I'm just happy I never really expected.

Keep hoping.
