...SUCKS.
Especially when it's after the fact.
Rejection at first glance is an easy thing to deal with: there are myriad reasons why such a judgment is being made, and most of them don't have anything to do with the rejectee. First-glance rejection doesn't necessarily mean being personally dismissed out-of-hand.
But after the fact? That can only mean one - or all! - of three things:
1. I did/said/sucked/handled something wrong.
2. I didn't do/say/suck/handle something right.
3. I'm fundamentally wrong. Or ugly. Or smelly. Or whatever. Insert self-deprecating assumption here.
All I can say is that folks would save me - and themselves - a whole lot of time and energy if they'd just take the time to decide prior to the judgment becoming personal. Because I'm too old for this shit. Seriously.

How would living in the Universe differ if you recognized it as enchanted, ensouled, intelligent, and responding to your needs, thoughts, and ideas? How would you see people differently if you knew that was the potential you shared with them?
The Fire Horse - highly strung, powerful, inconsistent, alluring and motivated by strength of will. Horses born under the element sign of Fire are said to be blessed with great fortune or cursed will great misfortune. Sometimes they are served both, but in any event, a Fire Horse will never lead a 'normal' life.
Through all the moons of many a year, the Fire Horse is a dynamic creature, with a vigor that promises youth and freshness until the very end of life. The will and the spirit of the Fire Horse cannot be broken.

Sometimes there's a couple other reasons, and I mean this, sometimes your dismissed personally because:
4. The person doing the dismissing can't see what's blatantly in front of him/her.
5. You make the person doing the dismissing recognize the flaw within him/herself that's like a spotlight is shined on it when your around.
I mean that.
Sometimes your brushed off because of their faults. That's not hopeful thinking - it's the truth.
You'd tell me exactly the same thing if the situation were reversed. Open your eyes and see this situation for what it TRULY could be.

I was thinking of something intelligent to say but Jen said it prefectly
'Sometimes you're brushed off because of their faults.' :)
