apropos of nothing, i applied to a lot of things i was excited for this year and did not get accepted into them. i just wanted to share that, in case it helps. let's keep going. take it as a sign that you still have room to grow, as permission to continue, and let's keep going
something important i've learned is in how to frame this thing. it's not "i got rejected" it's "my application for this specific thing at this specific time wasnt accepted"
there have so been many things in my life that didnt work out the way i thought i wanted to, that, looking back, i am very grateful did not happen. different things await you. keep going. your only job is to keep going.
i can guarantee you that everyone you look up to has faced failure and rejection thousands more times in their life than any sort of success. it's part of the path of making the thing. maybe the most important. your only job is to keep going.
if you dont keep making and creating and doing, you are giving the world less to reject you for, yes, but eventually there will nothing for anyone to say yes to. your only job is to keep going. your only job is to keep going. your only job is to keep going.
im gonna keep going. lets keep going. *grabs your hand* lets gooooooo!!!!
addendum: i dont agree w the narrative that u'll eventually find "success" if u just work hard enough for it, i think thats blindly untrue. but i do think that if u dont keep going, u disqualify urself, u prevent urself from being able to buy the lottery ticket to begin with! bye
