The Art of Rejection

This week and the last, I’ve been hit with numerous rejections. From job applications not seeing potential in me as a candidate for their project to a boy not liking me as much as I liked him. It gets me thinking, when will I be chosen or when is it my turn to get that spotlight. Although I’m not crying, I would sometimes look down on myself thinking that there is something wrong with me. But when I look at the reality of it, I’m 19 and only a freshman in college. I’m still learning how to develop my individuality and the way I handle rejection is a great sign that I am maturing. So to that boy who is missing out on all this greatness (yes this happened today but trust me this is some sweet pure realness he’s missing out on). It’s your loss. Although I can’t say I believe in God 100%, I do believe in a higher power or maybe its just fate. However, I do believe that things happen for a reason. It’s as if my fate unconsciously rejected that event from happening. Although I do question the mechanics as to why things happen and measure its unfairness, I think back to how fine I am after it happens. I still focus on my grades, my future, my family, my sanity, and this blog that no one will probably read :(. But one thing I do know is that I do things for myself (including my blog although I do want people to relate me :). So, if I am slapped on the face with a big rejection label, I won’t feel ashamed because I pushed myself out of my comfort zone and took risks. I know the truth or I know how to move on from the situation. And although I find it hard to remind myself that the world moves on with the insecure feelings plaguing my mind, I ultimately find myself okay in the words of Leona Lewis. Things get better in time whether it be three minutes, three days, three months, or even three years. So yes I am fine now. It does sting sometimes and it’s important to acknowledge those feelings. However, don’t let them take over you especially when you come to the point of degrading yourself. Things will eventually fall into place, making sense later. Take that time to focus on you because who doesn’t wanna love and boast themselves 🙂
