I've ...I know exactly how you feel right now!! I've been very negative and anxious the past couple weeks about what I'm going to do for the summer and the rest of my life. And I don't take rejection well AT ALL!! The main reason for my anxiety and negativity is because I was rejected from my school's music program to become a music major. I also don't even want to bother auditioning again because I'm pretty sure they'll reject me another time!!Erin Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00578288317462293828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1196113258476427173.post-44582324515430041842010-05-16T19:18:40.062-07:002010-05-16T19:18:40.062-07:00I wish I could tell you not to be scared. I wish ...I wish I could tell you not to be scared. I wish I could say that the uncertainty gets easier, but I think the truth is that it's always intimidating. The rejection hurts, no matter how many people tell you to prepare yourself for it. It can hurt a lot, and it makes me sad to see you upset over all this because you're such an amazing person with so much to offer.<br /><br />I know our situations aren't exactly the same and only you can know what you're thinking and how you feel, but I'm going to share something that a lot of writers and literary agents have said. Rejection is SUCH a huge part of the publishing industry, and even though I'm still working on getting used to that, there's one piece of advice that's really stood out - it's not the writer they're ultimately saying no to, it's the work. Maybe it would help to think about things the same way for you? It's not you they're rejecting or your talent ... it's just that they ultimately decided to go in another direction. I know that doesn't make it hurt any less, but hopefully it will help somehow.<br /><br />Hang in there ... keep focusing on the positive, like Friday's concert!Sharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13285268696203931436noreply@blogger.com
