Special Occasions Ruined

John B. Marine | April 28, 2019 | | | | |
There are some days you look forward to and prepare for- a birthday, an anniversary, some party, a special event, etc. Then for some reason, it is ruined. Some occasions are seen as once-in-a-lifetime occasions; and if/when they are ruined, we feel what is supposed to be a time of happiness ends up producing more excuses as to why life is not worth enjoying. The level of importance of certain ruined special occasions lead us to why we either like or dislike certain moments in life. So what do you do when certain events of happiness are ruined? I will try to offer my thoughts in this post here on "John's Life Space."






Special Occasions Ruined


Certain enjoyable occasions are meant to be just that- enjoyable. However, various influences cause days of happiness to be ruined for whatever reason. Certain moments are meant to be treasured for a long time to come- and hopefully for all the RIGHT reasons. What happens when such projected times of happiness get ruined?


The Psychology of Special Occasions.

From parties to celebrations to ceremonies, we all have times we want to remember and celebrate. When such moments are ruined, we feel there will never be a second chance to enjoy certain times. Think about maybe an Elementary School student performing and wants to see his/her mother and/or father in attendance enjoying the performance. Imagine someone wanting a certain gift for Christmas but unable to get it. Think of someone's birthday party being ruined because of some kind of violence or an overall horrible experience. If someone is graduating, someone wishes a family member or his/her family will be there to see him/her gain recognition and respect for graduating. When not everything goes well, times feel terrible. If someone is about to get married, a lover hopes that the wedding doesn't get called off, or even if at the wedding party, someone gets dumped or decides not to marry the other person. If a mother is ready to give birth, it would be ruined if the father doesn't show up or if the mother suffers some kind of failed pregnancy. We all wish we can enjoy certain moments without any kind of problems. Moments where we can enjoy ourselves or celebrate something should go without hitches. Life, however, gets in the way.

If certain things are not happening or if certain people don't show their loving support, an occasion feels ruined. We always want everything to go smoothly. An opportunity seems missed when things do not go according to plan, or when the desired outcome is not reached. Everything from times as simple as ruined parties to more extreme cases like acts of terror at functions are subject to times being ruined.


What to Do in Times of Ruined Special Occasions?

You hope times go well so you wouldn't be grieving or feeling depressed. It helps to have a support system to help console you in times of ruined happiness. Unfortunate things happen. You can't expect everything to go well. If it is something outside of your control, you did everything you could to make the occasion a great one. Things just did not go your way or as you hoped. If what occasion you wanted to take part in can be done something again another time, just prepare a future date and hope things go better the next time. Most of all, remain positive. You can certainly try again with certain things. For moments like graduation, giving birth, weddings, or anything like that; you may never get to experience such occasions ever again. Life goes on even if you do not get to experience certain things you were hoping for or wanted to experience. It is just unfortunate that what could have been a happy time for you had to result in something less than what you were hoping for. Just move on with your life and try to remain happy. If you can not get your happiness up, have someone help you be happy again.

If you are the victim of a certain crime that occurred during such special occasions, you must try to get in touch with authorities or law enforcement. Try to tell your story and seek justice for certain crimes committed to you. If a family member, friend, or loved one is the victim of a special occasion ruined by somebody else, contact authorities or law enforcement to act on the behalf of your family, friends, and/or loved one(s).

If a special occasion has been ruined thanks to natural disasters or things outside of your control, just know it wasn't your fault. You or nobody you know influenced a certain event to be a failure to you. Unfortunate things happen. It would be pointless for you to (for example) blame weather conditions for ruining an occasion, as if weather is supposed to cooperate with you. There are even times when special occasions ruined outside of your control Maybe such a special occasion ruined by something out of your control was ruined because of malfunctions. For example, let's say there was a party on some sort of boat or watercraft, and then the boat collapses or capsizes. Maybe a party takes place in a building or structure not sturdy. There was one moment at a condo near a certain university when a party happened to where the floor of a condo near a university collapsed, leaving people fall from that floor to the ground level. Maybe you are enjoying a certain special occasion in a carnival-like setting until a ride malfunctions. Maybe some kids are enjoying being in a bouncy house until the bouncy house deflates or some kind of injury happens. Certain things happen at certain times, and it is to no fault of your own. In another sense, you can't blame promoters of a party or a certain individual(s) for ruining your experience because of an event being canceled at the last moment or certain individuals being sick, injured, or even dead.


Final Thoughts.

A lot of different special occasions can be ruined by any number of means or reasons. If it is something caused by others, it can be entirely damaging if someone else ruined what should be a time to enjoy and be free. If the special occasion is ruined because of factors outside of your control, it is surely unfortunate something didn't go your way because of something you can't control. You just have to know that you may or may not get a chance to celebrate a certain occasion or a certain moment again. Do not entirely feel are unable to be happy or enjoy life because of such ruined events.

Most important thing to do in all of these times is to remain hopeful and happy. You were looking forward to some sort of happy time, but that happy time was denied for whatever reason(s). Not everything goes according to plan. Not every moment goes in a favorable outcome. It is life. Do not stress too much over certain moments or lament missed opportunities. These are all moments that help shape our lives for better or worse.





The most important thing to remember with blog posts like this is that I design these posts with the intent of helping someone who may want the help. I love (or at least respect) everyone who comes through seeking some sort of guidance and help through various life issues. Having said this, I hope this blog post struck a chord with you with advice you can use. All of us need help at some point. I hope my own help can be beneficial to you and others. You are NOT alone if you need help, so take advantage of whatever resources you may need. I am done here. I hope you got something useful out of this post. Before I close this post, I want to offer some discussion material in case you want to discuss this topic:

Has there been a special occasion been ruined for you? How did you handle the pain of that event being ruined if you have been involved in such an event? What would you recommend to someone to cope from a ruined special occasion?

Thank you for reading! Take care and be well.
