Have you ever hoped for something then it didn't come about?

I think even though i have always told myself to never expect anything again, like to receive the gift i wanted, to receive bonus from our company, to get a higher back pay when i resigned, there is still that something that sort of puts hope in everything i am trying to push out in my mind. I end up only being half disappointed, instead of a hundred percent of feeling so low because i have not set my own expectations.
Hay of course if what we tryy not to expect becomes a reality then it is a good one, something to celebrate especially if this turned out to be a good thing on our part. Anyway, so what do you do when it comes to such occasions?

thank you so much for your response. =) i think that we all have our own ways to be able to cope and manage our stresses. its just too much, though sometimes when you try not to think of something that is always bothering you... until that day comes when you want to see whether your hope was all the best.

There is a lot I hoped for but it was never that bonus or golden handshake I hear other people did get after years of working very hard. I did hoped to gather after all these years a better life and a way better health without stress... am still not at that point.

Of course, disappointments are just part and parcel of living. Sometimes we get what we want and other times we don't. I always think if something doesn't work out it is because there is something better waiting around the corner.

well, I also experienced that before even before when I was studying in highschool and grade school. I had been expecting for higher grades or even scores on activites, but I always found out that I didn't make it to pass, so from then on, I didn't expect for everything. I just continued with life and studies until I graduated in college....

sometimes this happens, i remembered when i was in college. i really had hoped to become a dean's lister and to graduate with a cumlaude honors but i wasn't able to do so... =( so much for the hard work and false hopes i gave myself.. it was really something i could have lived without.. haha oh well it sure have taught me a lot. ;) when i should expect... and so on.
