Just Me

Today I heard someone say that when we get rejected we have to get back up. I found that to be very impactful. So many times in my life I have been rejected and dwelled on it for way too long. Like when I’ve been told I was never good enough. It feels like the air has stopped in your lungs and that you can’t move. You get this funny feeling in your stomach and you feel the tears burning at the back of your eyes. It’s okay to feel things. To have and show emotions. That’s part of being human. But this little speech, if you will, showed me that you can still feel upset, without wasting your life. You get back up. You let it go and continue on. You will be okay. You can’t deprive yourself of living or of feeling those feelings. We find a balance. And then we live on.
