Disappointment

Woke up this morning feeling thankful for seeing the light of the day. I started my routine firstly by devotion and after that, I remembered I had some left over design to finish on my PC so without hesitation I started the unfinished design with some blue's music going on in the background. I was feeling happy and my room mate were also feeling the music with me. But actually I had planned on not going anywhere throughout the day, so technically that means I am staying indoor.

But I had made an appointment with a friend of mine that I had crush on, but not so long after my friends left the hostel for school that the unexpected happened.......... let's me rewind to what happened the previous day.
So it was one of my friends moms birthday. We decided on going to a restaurant to have a nice time , we decided on eating our local food which is Amala and gbegiri soup with cow meat sounding delicious right? I know......lol

So after the restaurant experience, we headed home but sent one of us to market to get all the stuffs that were need to prepare our own delicacy at home. The soup was prepared and it was yummy cause it was Efo Riro Yoruba local name for vegetable soup and we consumed it with our prepared rice.

So now we have an idea of what I have eaten

So back to the morning, when my friends left for school the unexpected that happened was that I started purging, ran out of my room for the whole day, I was so weak and lost interest in eating for the day, yet I was all alone in the hostel no one to pity my condition.

So back to the plan I made with my crush, I had called her the previous day to come and even go to the extent of begging her to come just for us to be able to talk more. And she said she will come.

My mind was already there expecting that if she comes it won't be only me and I don't know what might happen due to my purging situation. But I was disappointed. I tried reaching her line and to no avail, that when I went to check the word DISAPPOINTMENT so I got this meaning;

sadness or displeasure caused by the non-fulfilment of one's hopes or expectations.

I really felt bad cause this is not the first time this will happen especially from her. But I was not discourage, I moved on.

I discovered that we don't need to give much to people who are not willing to give anything back to us.

To whom much is given, much is expected

But I think its not in her own dictionary. My fellow steemians don't be too expectant of what people won't give you. I had another similar experience from a friend who promised some amount of money to add up to my needs at one time, and the money promised I was going to pay back, the promise was made but on the day of fulfilment, that friend just went blank. I called no response, no message, no chats for even days later. Every disappointment taught me some major truth about life which are;

  1. Don't be too confident of peoples word, they will break you badly

  2. Work earnestly simply because no one will stand in the gap where you are lagging

  3. Trust God more

Conclusion

I am not saying you should not trust people or that every of your friend will disappoint you, but always have a back up plan in every of your dealings by that you will not have any heart attack or heart break.

Thanks for taking your time to read, one love from @olatun

I fully agree with you. The more you depend on people for your happiness the more disappointment you're setting yourself into.

Thanks for sharing this valuable piece.

Thanks boss

It's not as if we should not trust people, but as you have said, we should put all our trust in God

Yes ooo, thanks
