Disappointment—whether it stems from shattered dreams, unmet expectations, or unexpected plot twists—happens to everyone. I think everyone understands grief, and the journey it takes us on, whether it’s the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or a disappointment. Some people don’t deal with it, the power of it. Some do. Some feel the weight of it and it informs their choices. See more ideas about wise words, me quotes, and inspirational words.
