Expectations

How sometimes we got the exact opposite of what we expect.

Today’s one is about splashing.

I was cyclig after a rain dropped on the streets, and had the dirty thought of going through the irregularities full of water.

Oh yeah, I am an adventurer.

And first reaction was: “stop being stupid. Go to shop, and buy what you should”

Missed some and thought: “No way, go for it”

It was so much fun.

And there was one that I went by. Really deep and I thought: “No this one, I would be completly wet”

BUt I couldn’t. I had this: “Ahhh go for it.”

Stopeed, turned around and went for it. Expecting a complete and utter spray through my legs.

“make a proper turn about” and bam.

Not even a single drop. Okay, maybe a drop. But It was completly different for what I expected. Somehow the depth of the hole, it’s not technically a hole, but a sink of asphalt, made my cycle wheel going through it, spray it all around. But not inside me.

I continued on my mission. Spraying more and less. Some I went for it, some I didn’t. But the important part was to decide.

COming back I thought going fast. Through long one, but shallow. And it got under my shorts. Like I was expecting nothing, and got everything even deeper. “Okay I should stop” realizing the asphalt is dirty and I want to keep my equipment clean.

Now what is this for. Maybe, a sign that it isn’t always as you expect, and some actions would bread a complete and opposite reaction, that you’ve expected. And some would too. And some would do what you expect.

But you never know. The important part is to pick.
