Rejection comes to us in life from different things, places and people, it does bring us down to our feet and sometimes it does wonders to our lives by regrouping and this makes us better versions of ourselves before being rejected.
Rejection can be defined as "the dismissing or refusing of a proposal, idea, etc" it also means "to refuse to accept something or to consider someone".
Life as we have it these days is almost what we can call incomplete without we facing rejection, or being rejected.
I myself have being rejected a few times, if I say a few times then I definitely must be lying because I have been rejected at my school, my ideas at some functions, just lot of rejections.
But my tale for today is about my rejection, the one that did hurt me and left me lost in my mind for days.
Few years ago, when I thought I would never be in love, or even at least maybe someone who would also love me even if the love would be for just a hundred meters, but life did have it ways as they say and I found love the love of my life.
"There is always someone made for you, it just time and place that matters" I was taught growing up front the movies I have watched, don't blame me for getting my love lesson from movies it's a long way for a loner growing indoors.
After this lecture one fateful day at my school, I was about leaving the exam hall after the hustle and bustle to get my name written and signed in the attendance list that took almost forever and made the day for me more stressful and annoying.
Just as I stepped out of the multipurpose lecture room, I saw this amazing super girl that looked really gorgeous and left my mouth wide open at her walking steps I was really wowed and lost in all imaginations of me having her cuddling already in my arms under this nice and warm duvet.
I said to myself, "this is someone made for me", and I just decided to walk upright to her and say hi and do all the unnecessary introduction bla bla bla, but my legs were not moving an inch because my soul was the one yearning for her but my body was weak, sober and scared of rejection.
So I let it slide, spoke to a few friends about it, the cheered me up just did what boys do and gave me this mad morale.
After weeks of secretly admiring her, I took to my friends advice and approached her did all I could do after all the awkward moments she gave me an "e for effort" look and told me not to rush life and hold my peace and said she's not the one with me, so in order to save me the stress we can't work out, but we can be friends with all formalities and no immortality should ever cross my mind of happening.
That was really a straight and awful rejection to the face, and it did hurt coming from person I did love, my first love in the university.
Well rejection helps in a way and builds one self confidence, it did build me gave me more confidence and I didn't stop there we became food friends, turned into besties and we still good and alot had also transpired within us that I can't say.
