Thank you so much for this!!
Exactly. Every day I tell myself that not getting published doesn't mean I'm a bad writer. Lots and lots of great artists have risen and become great after some close-minded jerk dismissed them and said no to them. No one owns the truth and my talent and dreams can't be defined by something that hasn't happened yet. Still, it's very difficult not to believe the lies 😔
I know, those are great examples. There's plenty of cases in which those who rejected ended up pulling out their own hair. I think this world in general needs to get a grasp of the word 'opportunity', because lots of talented people lose their chances because no one would give them one to prove themselves (don't I know it, that the only person who actually hired me saw me doing my job instead of interviewing me) Thank you so much for your support!

I feel the same way, Cintia. But I just have to push myself to write because it makes me happy, not just because it can be turned into a book.

Yeah, it is. But,
Harry Potter got rejected 12 times.
Dune got rejected.
A Wrinkle In Time got rejected.
Life of Pi got rejected.
Gone with the Wind got rejected.
The Chronicles of Narnia got rejected.
Even if it does get rejected, it could still be great.
