Rejection hurts
Even when I pretend it doesn’t
Even when I laugh it off
Brush my jacket clean
Have a bath
Drink some tea
Read lines of poetry
And still
In those quiet moments
In the deepest of hearts
I crave love
I crave belonging
I crave acceptance
And rejection
Hurts

Of course it does. No one likes rejection. I think maybe it’s okay to feel what you are feeling and be yourself no matter how that shows up for you! Let me know if you need me…you know how to find me! ❤

Rejection does hurt. But you aren’t to blame! It’s the one rejecting you who bears the responsibility.

Well said, it truly does hurt. But the reality we learn from it and open our eye’s to let us know they weren’t for us. Many Blessings

i feel you. we get to the point sometimes that the only person that could comfort us is ourselves. But remember, Rejection Never Kills. quoted from http://tnrbible.blogspot.com/2017/05/rejection-never-kills.html
