Why is it that....

It's natural and I always feel that way when Wimbledon is over. Despite Sharapova's early exit from the tournament, there was the drama surrounding Murray this year and I have to wait another year for him to grab the Grand Slam title. The Olympic Games are coming up in a week and expectations are running high but everyone would feel depressed in September no matter how many medals Britain may win thanks to a home advantage.

I think as ThirdTerm alluded to, expectations play a role. I know that when I hype something up too much, I usually end up disappointed, even if it was great just because I expected so much. Keeping expectations realistic or even slightly low in some circumstances (such as for movies) might make the experience more fulfilling.
I feel that way whenever I finish a good book. I put a book on hold at the library, wait a few week's anticipating reading it. It arrives, I get it home and start reading it. I finish it in only a few hours. What I thought was going to be a three day journey, is over before I began. Feels like I lost my best friend.
