Disappointment

Disappointment is a very strong, horrible word.

We've all been disappointed in someone or something or have disappointed someone else. It's a part of life. But that doesn't make it any less of a horrible feeling.

For me, disappointment is an everyday thing. Whether I'm disappointed in myself, something that was supposed to happen but didn't, someone else, but most of the time it's someone disappointed in me.

Most of that was directed toward my mom, my step-dad, my brother's dad, my dad, and myself. Every night, there was something to be disappointed about.

There's nothing wrong with me at all, but I still find myself getting disappointed in the things I do every day, and I beat myself up for it. whether it be about a silly action that I did, or messing up a verse in a song, singing in the wrong key, or messing up a line in a play. But most of the disappointment in myself happened because my mom would point out every little thing she was disappointed in about me. That lead me to being disappointed in myself for not being able to be the daughter she wishes she had.

Is that okay? No. Of course not.

No parent should make their kid feel that way.

I'm still working on this myself, but If you learn to accept yourself and stop caring about other people's expectations for you, you'll be a much happier person. Also, if you stop expecting people to do things off of what you want to happen, there will be less to be disappointed about.

Disappointment is inevitable, but we don't need to allow it to take over our lives every day.

Now I want you to let it out. it's not okay to hold it in. So todays QOD is:

What is your biggest disappointment?

This is a judgment free zone and I want you to speak your mind.
