Disappointment

Life, as we all know it, has a habit of gift-wrapping a boxful of disappointment. Win some, lose some. Counting your chickens before they hatch.

But enough with the sayings.

People, of all walks of life, deal with disappointment in their own way. Some choose to ignore it altogether and some insist on reverting it from before it became one...and some, try to search for a good or positive outcome from said disappointment.

Tonight, I got hit with bad news. Nothing tragic, relax. But it was something I had looked forward to and wanted for a couple of years now and to find out this late, I felt as if I got picked up and was thrown into an Olympic sized swimming pool filled with disappointment. 

Cause and effect. Not getting what I want will save money. I know this without having to rely on some form of intoxication, I knew this decision is a wise one. 

But for once, for the life of me, I wish I could just act irrational.

But I can't, because I'm just that rational person whose conscience never takes a vacation.
