Disappointment

I feel disappointed. The ideas I had didn't work out. The maybe became a no. The expectation didn't materialize. The supporter became the hater.

And as I hang on to what could have been, the disappointment deepens. 

It is my resistance to accept reality as it is that keeps me disappointed. But I will let go and accept reality, and with it my disappointment will fade. And it's sad that I will let go of the hopes and excitement of something that didn't materialize. I wonder if instead I should hang on. But I know this only brings pain.
