reminder that paris geller got rejected from harvard, her all time dream school, and even thought she was a failure. but she kept working and fighting for her career to the point where, when she finished college 4 years later, she was stressed over how many schools wanted her to study with them (including harvard) and having to pick between medicine and law, both of which she excelled at.
please don't let any rejections or "failures" define your worth. you decide how good you are at something by choosing how hard you're going to work at it and you will end up proving anyone who says you "don't have it in you" so wrong they'll regret not supporting you and not being able to witness your growth into greatness. you are amazing and you can do anything you put your mind to, even if right now the only thing keeping you going is proving them wrong.
use those feelings to fuel you and grow from them. grow to the point where your work is extraordinary and you're so content with your life and your journey that you don't need their recognition anymore.
