That brightens my day up like nothing else these days. It means that I have touched someone else out in the world somehow, even if only for a brief moment. It means I have accomplished something on that day. With all this wonderful adulation also comes a little bit of blatant, undeniable rejection . I don't know why some people find it in their hearts to go around telling the rest of the citizens of the world just how much they all suck, but some people do.
Rejection happens in all aspects of life.
That happens and it sucks. Everybody has had to deal with rejection, and everyone will continue to have to deal with rejection forever. Maybe one day there can be some sort of utopia where everyone is all lovey-dovey all the time and where nobody makes fun of anyone and where there is no rejection, but until that time comes, we're stuck with it. I had to deal with it when it happened to me the other day. I just kept going on about it.
