My Prince Charming: disappointed again. dang it.

Disappointments suck. (Mom if you're reading this I'm sorry. But they really do.) I have had my share of them, and I assume all of you have as well.

When you get a low grade on a test
When you don't get what you want for Christmas
When someone lets you down
When you're expecting something and it either doesn't happen at all, or not the way you expected it to happen
When you think a movie is going to be good and it ends up being terrible
When nobody likes your status update ;)

These are just a few of the general disappointments I've experienced in my life and there are way too many to count besides.

I had a giant disappointment this morning which some of you may know about, and this entire day was pretty much terrible for me because of it. Basically, without going into detail, I was supposed to do something that was going to be exciting but because of some complications (not on my part) I wasn't able to. I was really upset about it for a long time today and at work this afternoon (because it was very slow today) I was thinking about it very critically. I was asking myself why I was getting so upset over something that, in the scheme of things, was very insignificant. I can honestly say that I am still disappointed about it now and I haven't gotten over it quite yet, but I really should.

I saw this quote today. What kind of poop attitude is that? Hello, don't believe anything like that.

Small things can seem so big can't they? At times I know I take things too seriously and make things seem bigger and more important than they really are. If you've seen Soul Surfer you will remember when Carrie Underwood said that it's hard to understand things when you're looking at them too closely and sometimes you need to get a new perspective. I think that kind-of applies here. If you think about things that happen too closely, disappointments and such, you can't really understand why things like that happen. I made the mistake today of thinking too much about this disappointment and I originally made a huge deal about it and in the end, I let it ruin my day. Not a good plan. If I did what I really should have done, I would have chilled out about it and not let it get to me. It wasn't worth it. In the scheme of life it really doesn't even matter. Like at all. Yes, I can let it get to my head and put me in a terrible mood but if you think about it, it's kinda stupid. Not worth it in the least. Much better to spend my days and hours and seconds thinking of the good in things rather than the bad, insignificant, meaningless things of life. Like my little disappointing thing that happened today.

This is a pretty cool quote

Ugh if this is super scattered and makes little sense blame it on the fact that I'm watching Captain America: The Winter Soldier as we speak. My sisters have been begging me to watch it with them like every single night so that is what I am kind-of half doing as I write.
