sulking

Do you know the feeling of someone promising you something that you've been longing for a long time, and then realizing last minute that this something can not be given to you? All along, you have high hopes and suddenly, just like a flash of light, it's gone.

I think to myself, what did I do wrong? I've been really excited about it, waiting and waiting, unable to sleep at nights, unable to concentrate. The disappointing feeling is overwhelming. Something akin to frustration.

It's like asking Santa what gift you'd like to have on Christmas, expecting it will happen because you've been a good child and have done well in school. The excitement and almost certain look is there, but once the wrapper has been taken off, the face falls and the whole holiday is ruined.

And you know the aftermath? You'll be crying and making tantrums until everything goes your way again. And you get this bad feeling when your parents give in. It's as if they were forced to do your bidding, not coming from the heart.

That feeling's worse.

Well, anyway, I'm not ranting just to let a certain someone change its mind.. as if that person knows this website! There was justification...a valid reason, and yet, I just feel sad. I would have done everything in my power naman to keep my promise. Why can't other people do it?

I think the same. It's sad that a lot of people are like that. I sometimes feel that I'm not really worth their time at all. :(
