Rejection!

I felt compelled to write this today ! No one likes rejection, the emptiness, the I am not good enough, the it's not fair of it all can be too much to bear for some people.

I don't profess to have the answers and I am writing this having just suffered a rejection after a job interview , which I have invested a lot of time and effort preparing for, so this may come from a place of emotion rather than well thought out strategies for coping, however it does come from a place of extreme honesty and for that alone I think it is valuable!

So what do you do , when some one tells you they don't want you , what do you do with the hurt , tonight I choose to be grumpy and emotional, tomorrow I will look at the job and realise that it would not have challenged me and that actually my skills would be far better invested in a role that fits me perfectly and is not the compromise that this was!

I know that I was myself and if that was not what they wanted then it would never have worked, I won't change for anyone or anything as I am just fine as I am, the right thing will come along at the right time - I believe that -  so for tonight it's time to say F**k it and settle down to a nice Chinese take away!

Time to look after myself!!
