disappointment

is the first thing that you feel when you hear and witness something that seem so sad to even contemplate.

In order for there to be clarity in this discussion, a revisit on the previous phone conversation me and my mother had must be reviewed. The topic on the close acquaintances that our family kept was broached and me and my mother talked about how shallow most of them are. And it greatly disappointed me that the highest ambition they had in life was to simply marry into a rich family and that's about it. It's so disheartening to learn that there are people who see so little of the world and not the world in it's entirety and all the possibilities and opportunities it has to offer. The world is grand and it's massive and it's figuratively ours for the taking. So why not cease the day and live it to it's full potential? Carpe Diem!

and another disappointment today...

is to learn that those who you could really count on during the hardest moments in your life are very few. The word sadness can't even encapsulate the emotion that I feel right now. Only now have I realized that friendship is indeed a very rare luxury which you could treasure. But among those trinkets, only a handful are genuine precious stones whose worth could never be converted into any amount of money. Though this unhappy epiphany, I am ironically happy to have learned this valuable piece of information.

and thus a HUG is in order...

for only this kind of human comfort can remedy a feeling that can never be translated into mere words.
