I composed most of it in my head to take my focus away from hoping no one would try and speak to me, despite how much I wanted to talk to others

That may sound like a massive contradiction but welcome to my head. My therapist suggested contacting one of the speakers and writing down what I wanted to say to him as a way of exercising that particular demon. That’s on the “To do this week” list.

I’m left wondering how close or how far a story is from what I want and need

Keywords: publishing , writing , rejection , short stories , submissions

I tend to submit my stories to magazines whose acceptance rates are 1% – 3%. I’m still trying to figure out what kind of stories the editors of those magazines prefer, so there’s much fingers-crossed submitting which results in rejections at least once a week.

I want people I care about to be happy and I go into DON’T WORRY BE HAPPY mode sometimes

I realized that that whole chain of traumatic memories and accompanying feels boiled down to two things for me. Fear of abandonment and rejection. Breaking news: when I boil them down and process them almost ALL of my negative self talk and negative emotions are rooted in those fears. That people I *think* love me will just…leave. And the curtain will fall and it will just be me wondering why I make everyone leave.

As much as I wanted to just leave my bag and head for the car (because I wasn’t in the mood), I had to go get it, so I did

God, forgive us for trying to take our life in our own hands. Give us wisdom, to let go. Fill our lives with you. God, you are all that I want, you are all that we need. If anyone is like me today, hurting with rejection or feeling alone I pray that you give us a sense of companionship and community. I love you and thank you for giving freely and abundantly! Amen!

I had the courage to make choices in spite of the disapproval of others

I worked my way through graduate school, taught in the inner city for seven consecutive years, paid my own bills (car payment, car insurance, utilities, rent, etc.). I wrote and recorded my own folk album, and I had at least three romantic relationships. I proposed to a man I loved and was rejected by him and my best friend, I was accused of intentionally deceiving and “stealing” a man because he was interested in me and not my friend; again, I was rejected. My family was both antagonistic and unsupportive of me. Still I “warrior-ed” on. I did not need the approval of these people to be the person I WANT TO BE. I let it go.
