I wish I could say rejection doesn’t hurt me anymore.

It does.

I’m sharing this because the worst thing that happened to me was never the end of my story. It only felt like it while I was inside it.

If you’re currently receiving rejection emails in your inbox, keep going. Your story isn't over yet. 📌

[Anthonette @datagirlanth]

I’m not sharing this to pretend every rejection magically leads to a fairytale ending.

Some rejections are just painful. Some take months to recover from.
