During my times of disappointments, I often find myself thinking about when I thought it was the very end of the world for not getting the role as Curella De Vil in my 4th grade musical.
“Ugh, Mom, I was literally casted as one of Cruella’s thugs, and not Cruella.”, I remember saying as I sat in the back of the car filled with tears.
I bring this moment up in my mind a lot, especially during my times when I am feeling disappointed. I remember being in my 4th grade age And literally deeming this as the end of the world. However, looking back at it, twenty one years old it sounds crazy right?
I say all of this to say, that life gets better. It honestly gets so much better, but there are going to be times in life when you feel disappointed, or you get rejected, and have to know how to keep pressing on!
I get it, it’s hard, It’s so fucking hard, but my favorite part about it, is that you can look back at the rejection later down the life, and look at it from the pont of view you are at now.
So right now I have some good news and bad news for you. The bad news is that it is going to hurt. It is going to hurt for a little while, and honey that is ok! You are going to have moments when you think you are doing good and then it suddenly comes in a wave and knocks you right back down.
However, here is the good news: IT IS ALL APART OF YOUR STORY. So I know, it may hurt right now. But in all seriousness you are going to be somewhere in your successful future looking back at that rejection and laughing about it.
Just how I still laugh about how I thought me not be casted as Cruella De Vil was the very end of the world. But, to this day, I really do think I would’ve ate that role up.
All my love,
JIW
