Disappointments

Do we ever learn to live in/with disappointment? What is about it that hurts so much? And why do we fall for it again, and again, and again. Maybe we place expectations that are too high. Or maybe we shouldn't have an expectation at all.

Is it only the people we love who have the power to trigger that button? But other people do too. I am wondering if we have the right to be disappointed at those whom we've loved and invested on? Maybe not because we could look like we gave to receive.

Do I disappoint people around me the way I feel disappointed by some?

Dear God,
Help me be mindful about those around me, especially those who look up to me
I want to be a source of inspiration, never a disappointment
And God, help me be tolerant and to continue to trust in those whose words seem to have no worth. I want to love like you.

Disappointed again,
Me
