It was like waiting for Christmas when I was a kid, than learning there was no Santa.

Looking forward to something only to be disillusioned by the actual outcome.

Playing against a self proclaimed champion only to learn they have nothing to offer to the game.

Trying to find worth in someone, find a redeeming quality but having to admit it was wasted time and effort on your part.

Realizing the old saying, "if it looks like a snake......" is true.

All taken into consideration was without a doubt, a let down.

The harsh feeling of disappointment eased only by the fact you won the game.

Knowing you can be proud of your contributions, proud of how you defended yourself and others, proud you stood your ground,

proud of your dna.

This game is officially over.

I won.
