REJECTION CAN DESTROY YOUR LIFE


Life is like a journey, long and full of twists and turns. Not everything in your life will go according to the way you want and how you have planned it. Sometimes it can take a wrong turn when least expected. For instance, getting rejected is one of the most painful things that most people are encountering and has destroyed a lot of people’s lives. Some rejections may lead most people into depression. Some may have their lives change forever. What is more painful is that some rejections come from families, by those people you love. But that doesn’t mean you should end the journey of your life.

Early this year, my university application was rejected by the university. It was not easy to accept. I felt that all my dreams and hard work had been for nothing. I couldn’t handle the rejection well. I was so depressed such that I even got sick. It was draining because I couldn’t stop thinking about my life and everything I had planned for my future. I felt like my life was over. All of my friends were accepted and excited but mine was the opposite.

After being rejected, I didn’t want to try and do something else with my life. I was scared of being rejected again. I couldn’t picture myself fitting in this world. What I could think of was to commit suicide. Some of my friends tried to bring about some positivity and talked to me but it wasn’t easy to take their advices. I felt like they didn’t mean what they were saying since everything was looking up for them.

They say life is like a book and if you don’t turn the next page, you wouldn’t know what the next chapter holds. Instead of weeping about rejections, I think people should focus on being positive about their lives. It is important that no matter how many rejections a person can encounter, they should still believe in themselves and work hard for what they want. A lot of people had been rejected many times but still conquered at the end. Lastly, judging people negatively because they have been rejected is the same as murdering them. All they need is support and belief in themselves. Instil that and create a better world for all.

MAYBE YOU ARE YOUR OWN ENEMY

An impoverished retired soccer player wishes he could turn back the hands of time. Another who retired too early because of drugs and alcohol wishes to play just one last season so that he could make a bit of money in order to, as he claims, start an investment. Then another, in his twenties, is not wanted by any soccer team. HOW IT ALL STARTS Alcohol has destroyed many people’s lives who let fame go to their heads. They used money and fame inappropriately. People who could have been successful soccer players, athletes, musicians, etc, are now left with their “almost-successful” stories to tell younger people in the taverns. When I was going up, in my community there was a group of very good soccer players. They were known as the group of winners because whenever they had a match, they often did not lose. When they were playing, the whole community would buy tickets to support them because they never disappointed. They had full support from both young and old. Their hard-wo

I GAVE UP

I gave up. there it is, I just said it! Judge me, call me a coward, or whatever you want but I just had had enough,  and I gave up! I know many will question why, and what I gave up. Motivational speakers and quotes will be surprised that after so many times of advising a lot of people not to give up, I completely did the opposite.   "Wake up, dust yourself and continue with the journey. Giving up is not an option", I always hear them saying, so I am here thinking that that is one of their favourite quotes. Honestly, I sometimes feel like giving up is the best decision one could take. A decision of just letting things go in order to create a new space for other things or people, clear decisions that were engulfed by the old ones and broader understanding of what they really want in life. Let us remember that when one door closes, another better one opens. So do not be afraid to give up. Do not force things, do not stay where you are unhappy, being hurt because you are

“I DON’T LOVE YOU AND I NEVER DID”

Not all words are meant to heal but some may destroy. It is good to always consider the way you speak and what you speak to people before you destroy another person’s life. Sometimes it is good to consider other people’s feelings and how they are going to adapt to certain words. Some people are driven to depression and anxiety and end up feeling useless because of certain words directed at them by other people. In extreme cases, some end up being murderers. Lucy and Paul met three years back on a school trip. She was doing her 10 th grade, while Paul was a manager in one of the biggest museums in the country. It was love at first sight. Paul did not hesitate to ask for Lucy’s contact numbers when he saw her. Even though she was in the middle of a crowd, Paul found a way to talk to her. Later that day, Paul started to communicate with Lucy through social media platforms. They communicated almost frequently, though sometimes they would spend two days without any chat. Being a mana
