It’s all just getting a little too much at the moment - and the cause of it all, is expectations. Any other year, it’s just a birthday party. This year, it’s my 21st. All I really want is a drunken gathering in my backyard where I get to be The Little Mermaid. Instead I have to worry about this person not getting along with this person, this person causing a scene, these people not having a good time - or how about my ‘good friends’ who probably aren’t even going to show up ?! My expectations are so so so high, which leaves so much room to be disappointed and this year i just DON’T WANT TO BE DISAPPOINTED.
