reality/expectations

"There is a mathematical formula for happiness: reality divided by expectations. There are two ways to be happy: improve your reality or lower your expectations." — Jodi Picoult (Nineteen Minutes)

It’s work. The person you love is rarely worthy of how big your love is. Because no one is worthy of that and maybe no one deserves the burden of it, either. You’ll be let down. You’ll be disappointed and have your trust broken and have a lot of real sucky days. You lose more than you win. You hate the person you love as much as you love him. But, shit, you roll up your sleeves and work - at everything - because that’s what growing older is.
