I resonate with this. I’ve learned that rejection is redirection; that roadblocks and detours are the path.

Looking at negatives as a positive has not been an easy shift. Of course I still feel all the emotions: loss, pain, anger, disappointment—there’s no avoiding that, and my worth now comes from within. My trust is in my own wings—the abilities I’ve gained to face conflict and adversity. That’s one of the greatest skills I’ve gained on this healing journey, is trust in myself.

For years I based my worth (and the worth of my work) on external factors such as comments and reactions where now I base it on my values. I can post an incredibly vulnerable blog that gets zero interactions but as long as I feel that what I shared aligned with my values I’ll leave it up as it’s staying true to myself that matters most to me now, even if it means I stand alone. That—That’s not easy, but damn, it is powerful.

I don’t know what the future holds and in 2019 to 2021, through an incredible journey of the mind that crash-landed me into a very real hell, I developed an unwavering faith that’s become my guiding light; an inner compass that knows the way even when my conscious mind does not.
