What would it be like to frame rejection as a journey of self? As an opportunity to know the walls of your thoughts with added depth? An opportunity for a journey of self-discovery.

Our self-discovery can be enhanced through connection. Connection through our relationships (friends, family, dating, & even professional colleagues), but most importantly, through reflection and acceptance of the self.

When was the last time you invested in self-discovery?
