deceptions dans la vie

how should one deal with disappointment?

people fall in love, get happy, get contented, get excited, get sad, get worried and get disappointed. disappointment is just one of the universal feelings that everyone has to deal with.

reactions vary with the extent of the disappointment that we feel at the moment. if it would be something that we didn't expect, usually, we get mad and throw that anger to something, or someone. sometimes, a disappointment could break our heart so badly that we wish we could just wash it away with our tears. sometimes, we shake our head and try to get wiser over the situation. then, we remind ourselves about what lesson to pick up from it and what to do to move on.

but should these experiences stop us from believing? should we then stop hoping? of course not! we need to grow from these experiences. we learn more about ourselves, about what to hope for and when to stop getting overhead about our expectations. the important thing is we need to know when to put away those childish hopes to where they belong - in the pages of the story books. then we identify those hopes that should remain tugged in our hearts, those that really matter.

maybe we are entitled to mope about our disappointments, may it be big or small. we may owe that to ourselves, but we owe ourselves more if we don't learn to move on.

so, i've been disappointed. les deceptions dans la vie est normale. over what, it doesn't matter. all i know is i've learned my lesson and i'm not mooning about it. c'est ne pas necessaire. i'm continuing on this journey, stronger as i've always been, i suppose. life's too short.
