Disappointment

4/15/2017

You would think that by the time you reach the age that I am, that you would be so numb to disappointments in life that they would have not any impact on you. When you reach the senior years of life, you have experienced just about every kind of loss and disappointment. You should be hardened to any other unpleasant thing that might happen in your present.

Chances are you have lost your parents; friends have quietly disappeared from your life. Pets that you loved are gone, and so are the houses you once lived in. Income is less because you cannot or do work as much as you used to do. So why is it that you can still feel disappointment or loss over a small event in your present life? I just have and I am surprised at how much it has bothered me.

It appears that I have lost another friend, albeit a new one, because I explained my feelings about something. Obviously, I must stop doing this and keep counsel with myself. It appears that even people who are my age want what they want and do not want to consider others. How can this happen when life has "knocked us out" at one time or another?

I imagine that I will have to accept that I cannot express what I feel for fear of losing someone who feels differently. It appears that I will have to accept their feelings to the negligence of my own. I really do not feel that it should be this way, but it appears that I must be odd; no one feels the same way I do.

Well, I have been hurt once again for expressing my needs or wants. I will get over it as I have many times before. I really wish I was a different person, but it is a little late too change
