what is that feeling?

Everyone knows about it. Some people around me suffer from it at unprecedented times, the same that I do. I am sure that everyone in their life has felt it in some way or another. It's called rejection. The sickly feeling that you get in your stomach when something you really have set your mind set on, suddenly and almost without a warning, turns you down. It's as if you receive a smack in the face from nowhere. I am not sure there are many worse feelings in the college world. Did "Shoeless" Joe Jackson have this same feeling when he was banned from baseball? Intriguing question. Rejection is among us, all the time, everyday. It may vary in different rejection levels, but the feeling, the disappointment is there all the same. Maybe it's there because there is a better plan for each of us. There is a better version, a better way, a better person than the thing, the way, the person we just were rejected from. Although this may not always be true, quite often, it is. It's just extremely hard to see it at the moment of pure rejection. As for me, I am suffering from it at this moment, hence why this blog is being written. Rejection hasn't come to me like this in quite awhile and honestly, it hurts. Best cure for this: laughing. Smiling, laughing, having fun and being preoccupied are the best medicines for this type of feeling. I hope that this weekend is filled with a lot of this. I need this type of medicine right now and I know that I have my perscriptions filled out for this weekend at least.
