How To Handle Rejection...Kinda

If you wanna read an actual guide on how to get past rejection, check out this post right here...for now enjoy this story from my past that still haunts me to this day, jokes lol...

Hey friends, glad to be talking to y’all sooner rather than later. So this is a story I’ve definitely told here before, but I was reminded of it while talking to a coworker and I started dying lol that and the girl in this story is getting married this weekend so I thought it’d be jokes to take a stroll down memory lane...so if y’know, y’know...if you don’t, then happy reading. So let’s rewind to a time in my life when I was a hella corny young boy, or at least cornier than I am right now. This is probably some time in high school, I was really close with this one girl. I’m talking like we shared a dope connection, I could see her face and know that something was wrong. Random tidbit, I was very cordial and friendly with her dad cuz he was a super chill guy. Anyways, so as time passed and our friendship deepened like any immature young boy, I started to develop feelings for her. Or at least wonder to myself if I saw her as more than a friend. So her birthday was coming up and I was like alright, let’s confess my feelings by writing her a card, but not just that but a poem inside the card. The card was probably like half the size of a Bristol board...hella extra, you bet LOL. So I remember biking to her house, dropping the card off and dipping hella fast. Didn’t even bother ringing the doorbell cuz I didn’t wanna risk her dad opening it and being like yo what’re you doing here LOL. So have you ever done something then instantly regretted it? Yeah that was me to the highest degree. I biked home, took my jacket off and was like yoooooo what did you just do? Nonetheless like any naive young boy, I waited for a response, and waited, and waited. Take in she didn’t say a word to me for a good like 3-6 months...the number slips my mind...but 3-6 months LOOOOL. So me being stubborn but also plain stupid...I don’t think I bothered reaching out cuz in my head I was like I guess she’s not bout it. But also in my head I was probs like well shouldn’t she respond in some sort of capacity. Essentially we just stopped talking and stopped being friends for that period of time lol. A lot happened in between that time but I’m too lazy to get into it. I just remember we somewhat got back onto talking terms and she texted me one day and was like oh btw I never got the chance to thank you for the card. For context, this was a good 6+ months after I had given her the card and we stopped talking and stuff LOL. Like how does that make sense fam? So fast forward to a few years down the road and we’re not really close friends but more like chill acquaintances, she brought it up one time and was like maaaaaan remember that time you wrote me that card for my birthday and stuff? She’s like it was soooo corny, I called my best friends and we laughed about it. In my head I was like damn that’s harsh, but I get it it was corny, but I like chuckled and was like bruh...then she like added in oh it was cute tho...LOOOOL. It’s funny cuz now I can fully laugh at myself and joke about it cuz I can’t believe how dumb I was back then, but ain’t that all of us? It’s cool now tho, we’re still friends, very cordial and like I said she’s getting married and I’m going to her wedding this weekend. So it all worked out for the best...right? LOOOOL right.
