Anticipation

There's a great number of things that I'm anticipating at the moment. Movies. Music. Events. Visits. But I've come to realize that one must keep their emotions in check when it comes to these things. The dilemma is that you can become so excited for the moment to arrive, that when it finally does, it doesn't live up to the expectations that your mind has created. You have "hyped it up" to such a high that the reality fails to measure up in comparison. But isn't it fun to let your mind go! To simply imagine how incredible the experience is going to be. I'm sure there is a happy medium between the two extremes, but for now I like to imagine that all my anticipated moments will far exceed my expectations and provide much happiness and excitement in my life!
