thought #56- you're a beautiful letdown

being carnal, human and broken life is inevitably peppered with disappointment. some disappointments are trivial and petty similarly to the way matthew moore breaks his promises again and again yet somehow makes it up to me by a singular apology and entertaining text message (plus you put up with my mean and incessant annoying haha). some disappointments are life altering, encounters, moments and people which dictate or sway the course you will take, the prospects of your tomorrow, the conscious and deliberate decision to arise each morning. some disappointments are learning blocks, similarly to failures and mistakes whilst others are indelible scars that take patience and faith to heal.

regardless of what sort of disappointment we must face there is only really one question and solution that distinctly creates a barrier between humanity. to hope and overcome? or being engulfed and in despair? it is easy to fall back into apathy and complacency and begin to exist without any intention of living. it is easy to also say that i will choose hope when life is dandy and euphoric but not so effortless when you are at the very crook of the valley.

sadly there is no five step guide on how to deal with disappointment. there is no easy solution or equation but we must remember that it is part of life. there will be a tomorrow, there is hope, there is always an opportunity to rise and another day to conquer. some people may laugh at this crudely and remark that i am idealistically bullshitting. that is fair enough. but i truly believe disappointment is not what is to define our life, but the way we dealt with it. it is not foolish to trust and hope and have faith. it it takes all these things in order to overcome a letdown. ultimately there is a reason why we can face difficulties, a reason which leads us to realise we are so much bigger then ourselves and our disappointments are only specks in the totality of existence. that reason why abides in you and i.

love,
