Episode notes
After many painful and beautiful friendships, I learned to stop expecting too much from friends. While it’s noble to have high expectations, they often lead us to disappointment. Having too-low expectations doesn’t fulfill us. It’s far better to have realistic expectations. We can then accept our friends’ flaws and enjoy their presence more.
