Beautiful. The sting of disappointment can also turn into “how can I do the thing anyway?” Can you do some peer mentoring with fellow writers? Or approach someone whose writing you admire and ask if they’d mentor you? I like flipping things. I often think about who it is that chooses who gets in and who doesn’t. That someone has to miss out and the decision making processes involved.

I love your beautiful photos. Snippets of your life and thoughts ❤️

Sometimes the universe has bigger plans for us than we have for ourselves. Trust her and you may find the door you labeled disappointment says opportunity on the other side.

Wise advice, and I know opportunity waits.
