I embrace #rejection because it's a small social indicator that guides me to a better fit for myself

#Poetry #submission thoughts

After several years of this poetry submission process, it's taken on a certain subliminal/emotional rhythm.

I steel myself and send off a bunch of subs to various magazines

Occasionally this is followed by an #acceptance or two, usually very quickly. Honeymoon period.

Then I get to wait 1-6 months for the rest of the responses, and this is sort of a dull doomed feeling, because these are inevitably #rejection emails.

Got a #rejection today, because the #literary #magazine didn’t want the #poems. Ok, I get it. But then why ask me to submit to their contest? Because it’s got a fee, perhaps? $$$$$$$$? So cheap, & demoralizing. #writinglife

then put on your glasses, grandpa!!!! my writing is clear and beautiful! :blobcat_crying: #academia #rejection

A quotation from Russell, Bertrand:

«
All the important human advances that we know of since historical times began have been due to individuals of whom the majority faced virulent public opposition.

Always stinks to get a grant rejection. I'm glad I'm at a point in my professional life that it doesn't ruin my day, but it is still disappointing.

Rejection is a part of doing science, and these ideas are good ones, and we'll work to find money to fund them somewhere else.

I try to be transparent about how much #rejection I experience in my career, and I track paper and grant rejections on my website if you are curious

Midnight thoughts on unrequited love.

It’s ok to love someone who doesn’t love you back, or doesn’t love you in the way that you want them to love you.

It’s ok to hurt because of that. It’s not nice to be rejected. It can stir up a lot of emotions and have you doubting yourself, your worth, your place in the world.

But mostly, it’s ok to not have your love returned and that’s not the fault of anyone (you or them).

It’s not your fault for not being enough.
You are enough.

It’s not their fault for not seeing how amazing you are.
They do see it.

It’s not either of your faults that your romantic interests aren’t in alignment.
People are allowed to love whoever they want.

So, be all that you are. Be in love with yourself and anyone else you want. Your capacity for love is not limited by the love others have for you, only by the size of your own heart.

Apparently, I'm totally over my thin-skinned submissions era. Just got rejection from a sub I'd totally forgotten about and was like "Oh, okay. Well then."
