Good day, amazing people of Hive Blockchain. Welcome back to my blog. It is another edition in the #scifimultiverse community. I am so delighted to participate in this week's prompts on the science of disappointment.
disappointment can be overwhelming; you should never allow it to take over your joy or your life. I understand that disappointment can be disheartening. Nothing hurts me more than someone disappointing me, especially when it is coming from someone I trust, someone with whom I share something or someone I have invested in. If I don't control my emotions, I will be devastated. Disappointment is like a shade of two books; disappointment can bring blessing and sadness. Whichever disappointment throws at you, you should be able to handle it.
I have really been disappointed by many people, even by people I trust so much. It hurt, but I have learnt never to put my hopes in people. After I gained admission into the university, I lost my dad. Life became very hard for me and my family. On my dad's sick bed, my dad begged his brother to train me in school, and he accepted to see me through school.
When it was time to pay my school fees, I called my uncle to notify him that it was time for me to pay my fees. He said he would pay my fees in two weeks time. I was happy and relaxed that I had an uncle who would play the role of a father in my life.
I called him after two weeks; he came up with another excuse, and my exams are in a few months. I never give up during weekends; I will go to my uncle's house and run some errands for this family. I still hope that he will pay my fees a few weeks before my exam. My uncle called me that he will not be able to pay my school fees. I was disappointed at a point. I don't know what to do or who to run to because my exams are in a few weeks, and I can't write exams without paying my school fees.
I have a best friend, Anita. She visited me at my hostel because she had not been seeing me in school. She came to know if everything was okay. I couldn't hide my emotions; tears were running down my eyes like oceans. I explained to her how my uncle disappointed me; she felt for me.
The next day Anita came to my hotel with some money. She gave me the money, and I couldn't believe my eyes. I asked her where she got the money, and she told me that she told her parent my story, and the parent felt for me. Her parent gave her the money to give me so that I would pay my fees and write exams with my mate. My joy was overflowing; I shed tears of joy. I never believed that I would write exams with my mate inside me. I have dropped out of school because at the moment my mom can't pay my fees.
After the examination, I went to Anita's house with my mom to thank her. Then, getting there, it happened that Anita's dad is my dad's best friend. Right there, I was given a scholarship by Anita's dad. That was how my disappointment brought me abundant blessing. And today I am a graduate in business administration.
How I was able to manage disappointment
I do things I enjoy the most. I embrace joy in the face of my challenges, although it is not easy, but I have to.
I have come to understand that every disappointment that comes my way has a lesson for me.
One lesson I learnt is to never put your trust in any man who can disappoint you at anything; put all your hopes and trust in God.
