Episode 16 — Expectation vs Reality

from Unmarked

In this episode, we talk about the gap between what we planned and what actually happened. From career paths and relationships to the small everyday moments where reality looks nothing like the picture we had in our heads. Is the difference between expectation and reality disappointment… or simply life unfolding in its own way? Sometimes reality isn’t worse. Just different.
