Discouraged

So, I am just going to put it out there. I am 100% discouraged, I feel sad because I often times let people get the best of me. I feel like sometimes I might set myself up for disappointment also. Or maybe I just let people and things get the best of me and allow myself to be disappointed. On any note here is what happened.

I had plans to go skating with a friend/co-worker and she bailed on me last minute. This has happened more than once and why I let it affect me is a question that will most likely go unanswered. So rather than going by myself I just felt completely bummed and my whole plan was ruined and felt like what is the point? I was so mad at myself for not going anyway and I was ready to sell my skates and cancel my gym membership. Why I let people get the best of me and get to the point where I want to throw in the towel is beyond me. So my wonderful and awesome husband talked to me and totally pin pointed why I was so upset, he said he felt it was silly for me to want to throw in the towel that easy and give up on my dreams of skating for the MN Roller Girls. He is right, why is it so easy for me to throw in the towel when things get to hard or I get let down? I should stand up and fight for the things I want. It shouldn't just be so easy to give up. Have any of you ever felt totally discouraged and felt like giving up? How did you work through it?

I have my skates with and I might just go skating by myself tonight, we will see. I am extremely tired but I kind of want to try and push through this and have a break through, hopefully!
