Anti-Expectations
Break out the champagne
Roll out the red carpet
This is going to be glorious
Soon to be hearing trumpets
Excitement eagerly building
Anticipation anxiously awaits
Soon the suspense will be put to rest
Hoping hopefulness translates
Forecasting future happiness
Projection primed for perfection
Not allowing for deviation
In reality it can go any direction
Impossible to predict the end result
Time to put down the crystal ball
Better to back off on assumptions
Easing up on expectations big and small
Antidote is taking comfort in any outcome
Loosening up the reins on speculation
No longer jumping to conclusions
Removing conjecture from the calculation
