Rejection...

To make a long story short, rejection feels awful. Now what leads me to make this newspost is a longer story, and you don't have to read that. But this sucks.

I am finishing up college, and I have to work two jobs to pay for everything. I am eating Ramen noodles for breakfast and dinner (I often don't eat lunch.) I can't afford much, and obviously, due to my two jobs, I have time constraints. I spend all of my free time (which I get very, very, little of) writing my music and then making it. And I was offered a part in a collaboration for Newgrounds' twentieth anniversary which is coming up soon.

I was very excited to be able to participate, and I carved out about three hours of my day, which was not easy at all, and I spent it writing a song for this collab. And of course the collab organizer didn't let me take the genre I wanted, and gave me my least favorite of them all.

I was happy to be done, and ready to finally get to participate in an NG collab, but the organizer told me that I didn't meet the criteria. I was crushed. I am really upset about this.

Also, due to my time constraints (and insomnia on top of that), I only get about three hours of sleep a night. [To the user that rejected me, any guesses where I carved my three hours out of? >:( ]

I apologize for having a negative attitude right now, NG, but I think I have now made it clear why...

I am so sorry!! That person should not have changed their mind once invited you to be a part of a project. I hope you heal from this soon...

Thanks. It really sucks, but I'll get over it.

with that small amount of hate that you conceived, make something awesome that'll make them regret "rejecting" you 4 real

The world's a cruel place, my bro.

You can either join the pigs in the mud or wipe what they got on you off and believe you deserve better than that.

The greatest revenge is success.

Thank you for your inspirational words, friend.

Rejection is always hard to take.
In my life i've been rejected many times, but i grew stronger from it.
I can really relate to your lifestyle because mine was similar.
but what i can conclude is that your work maybe wasn’t good enough
or just simply didn't met the requirements.

don't put the guy's name in your entry man.
so that everyone thinks he is a bad guy or something

I find it hard to judge intent.
maybe he really wanted to use your music but it just didn't met the requirements.
for all i know he was an total a** to you.

i don’t know do you?(i’m also asking the readers of this post)
even with your time schedule and hardships does that means you can’t get rejected?

sometimes you fail in life, only to grow stronger.
at my company i was at the verge to get fired many times
but i improved myself even if their criticism was baseless.
and became a GM(General Manager) there at age 24

it’s okay to be frustrated, angry and sad.
just turn it into motivation.

anyway sorry guys for this long comment.

But i do feel bad for you, cheer up ^^

Thank you. Your words mean a lot.

That is quite harsh and you have my support, but Hiej makes a fair point, putting the name in was a bad idea, it sounds as if you're denouncing him. I take it you can't remove it now 'cause editing system is quite weird on NG.
Hope you get motivated again if you haven't already, and good luck!

Also thanks for following me. c:

CGA-999 2015-02-25 00:26:49

Thank you. I will remove it.
