well personally i think its probably the most unfortunate emotion that human beings are stuck with. don't get me wrong there are worst emotions for sure. but those don't stand par when it comes to how easily anticipation can mess you up.
you see with anticipation, our mind likes to play a little game. can you guess what that game is. No. well let me tell you. the name of the game is infinite possibilities. our brain or even us decides that, while we eagerly wait for whatever it is that we are waiting for, it should run scenarios of how it could all go. good and bad.
of course we being human are easily susceptible, so we right away run to the extremes of each end. but not before we have exhaustively gone over all the median scenarios and run through our reaction and action plan for them.
whether it so for a simple a thing as anticipating a new TV show. which by the way is the worst or the best. because you either think its going to be awesome and it will most of the time never meet up or you think its going to be terrible and its amazing, in that case, hey, you got the lucky end of the straw.
anticipation, though, really plays a toll on you when it comes to real life decisions/ situations. i guess, yea, its a part of everyday life. i would just be able to enjoy it better if i wasn't having a panic attack every 5 seconds because of something. Oh! and anticipation doesn't differentiate between past, present or future. its gonna get you, whether it was for something 2 years ago, today or next week.
don't let the face in the picture fool you, hes at one of the peak points..right now! LOL. just remember to keep a paper bag close ;)
till tomorrow,
B.
