"people are disappointing"

it's a refrain i seem to hear whenever one of my friendships starts growing. i often wonder if it's because i have accumulated unrealistic expectations. but then again, what's a growing friendship without growing expectations? i'd like to say that i don't feel as if i "deserve" what i expect. what does a broke sinner ever deserve? but, honestly, i do feel as if i deserve "better."

ok, so then i wonder... what if i'm wrong? what if i'm the problem? what if the friend didn't actually sin against me, but in my mind... things are just being blown magnitudes out of proportion. well that's when a good conversation comes in handy (and "good" doesn't necessarily mean "easy" or "happy").

talking is good because, while God knows our hearts, we don't know each others'.


as an aside, i wonder how often i disappoint others... i hope they tell me when i do. it sure is one of the hardest things to hear though (at least for me).
