To all my young readers - Rejection is something not everyone can handle. I, myself, lost a couple of precious years of my life chasing someone. I wanted to believe things will change over time. Someone will understand my feelings. When I finally realized things were never going to change, my mind was full of hatred. I was angry with a person, myself and the whole world. Then one night I was staying over at my relatives place when my 8 year old nephew caught me guilty. I was at the terrace and I had tears rolling down my cheeks. He asked, What happened? As silly as it may sound - I confessed to him. Ive made a mistake. And now I cant get over it. He looked at me casually and said, If youve ever made a mistake dont keep it like this. Accept it and try to fix it. I think he just imitated his mothers speech for him but suddenly he made total sense. That night standing on that terrace I realized where I messed up. Some days, I was trying to remember that person and some days I was trying to resist it. But either way I was letting that thought rule my neurons, my mind, my life. I was letting one rejection to dictate who I was. I was wrong. Im more than one rejection. Im more than what one person thinks of me. Yes! That person is/was valuable to me - but when they make you feel lesser, they dont deserve it anymore. Life is much more than one acceptance or rejection. Youth is like raw mud. These are the years which will decide who youll be. A magnificent sculpture or a failed work of art. Its nice to have found your perfect partner at a young age. But if you dont - its not a failure. Theres more to you than a few likes and the relationship status in social media. Dont be afraid to be single, just being with yourself - your passion, your hobbies. Its always a better option than being cheated, lied or being disrespected. Take care. #ankurankugautam
