Disappointment

One thing I hate the most is being let down. I guess this is from being let down by my father for so many years when I was younger. Him promising to take us out on the weekend and never showing. Or him not coming to a school event that me or sister had invited him to. That can be tough on a young child, especially on one that didn't have many friend and looked forward to a weekend of fun with someone.

With all these no shows and displeasing afternoon weekends I soon began to realize to never get my hopes up. You may say that this isn't a good thing to live by but that is the only thing I know how to do. Getting my hopes up will just set myself for disappointment. There are times were I did have hope and faith but it seemed like disappointment out weighs happiness. Even if there was a moment of happiness and joy there was a let down soon to follow to over shadow the joy.

Over the years and making so called "friends" I began to trust people and realize not every one is like my father. When people had came through with there promises my faith in them would grow. If something came up and our plans fell through I became a little more understanding. Not everything can go as planned. I have come a long way from looking at things with the attitude of "I knew that was going to happen" to a more "having an acknowledgement of the situation" that accrued.
