Rejection

Rejection is a deep and painful wound that can leave an indelible mark on a person's heart and psyche. It is a crushing blow to one's self-esteem and can cause feelings of worthlessness, insecurity, and despair.

The moment when you hear the words "I'm sorry, but I don't think this is going to work out," is one of the most devastating moments you can experience. It's like a physical blow that knocks the wind out of you, leaving you feeling numb and empty.

You begin to question everything about yourself and wonder what you did wrong. You start to replay every conversation, every interaction, trying to find the moment when things went wrong. You wonder why you weren't good enough, why you weren't worth fighting for.

The pain of rejection can linger for weeks, months, even years. Every time you think you've moved on, something triggers the memory and the pain comes flooding back. You start to feel like you'll never be able to trust anyone again, that you'll never be able to open yourself up to the possibility of love.

Rejection is a reminder of our vulnerability, our mortality, and our inherent need for human connection. It's a reminder that life is not always fair, and that sometimes the things we want the most are the things that hurt us the most.

But despite the pain, rejection can also be a powerful teacher. It can teach us resilience, strength, and the importance of self-love. It can help us learn to let go of what we cannot control and to focus on the things that bring us joy and fulfillment.

So if you're feeling the sting of rejection, know that you're not alone. It's okay to feel the pain and to mourn what could have been. But don't let it define you. Use it as an opportunity to grow, to learn, and to become a stronger, more resilient version of yourself.

It's the time when I turned 20 and my parents started to look for some potential proposals. My parents are doctors and I am the only daughter they have. My family loves me and no one ever told me that I had any physical shortcomings until one day when, a family visited us for a proposal. I was dolled up and everyone was so excited about it and it happened so fast that it was a yes from their side. My engagement cards were distributed and even the wedding date was fixed at the day of our engagement, my family and friends were all excited and so was I.

When I stepped on the stage I saw him, smiling at me. He took my hand in his hand and I felt those butterflies in my stomach and just after that a side lamp fell on my face and a side of it got burned. Everything changed after that day. They broke the engagement and the reason they gave us was "Your ugly daughter doesn't fit with our son". ,

I got treatments and had the scar partially removed but the scar their words left on my heart never left and even now whenever anyone looks at me I feel like the ugly one. I have lost all my confidence and no matter how much I try to fight the fears they are holding me back. I am diagnosed with anxiety and clinical depression with three s#icidal attempts since that day but that hurt never leave me, not for a second.

This is never gonna change. Some things and some people leave permanent scars and those imprints never leave us.
