I look around and see that a lot of the girls in my dorm are experiencing rejection, all on different levels for different reasons. But the affect is the same; they are being pulled down into different states of depression. They are questioning their self-worth and God given beauty, they are wondering if they ever will be loved by another. And last but not least they all put on a mask to front to others they are ok and good. Once in awhile do I see them take off the mask and be real and honest.
As I see and experience these feelings, I stop to wonder, “Why is it that guys just don’t get it?” Having had a few conversations with guys and being able to just be real with them about what I am feeling like, I get those pat answers of you shouldn’t feel like that, you are pretty, you will find a man one day. I am a girl, I am emotional, I am going to feel things stronger then a guy will. It will cut deeper then any guy can guess.
But then I talked with my dear friend here and He was rejected and he felt the same pain I felt… how can this be, he is a guy for goodness sake it shouldn’t be like this. But he is and he is working through this just like us girls
Why is it that those of us who face and experience rejection more often then most lose value in which they are, and begin to feel like they are not worth anything? Why is it that we feel like we are unlovable, and unwanted? What is it that sets this off in our mind and life? How come we can’t seem to hold onto the truth that will set us free but run after the lies that only pull us down? What is wrong with me… why can’t I just be content in Gods arms and His time and plans for my life (My whole life not just guys)? Why is the truth so hard to grasp….
Please no hard words. That is not what I need. What I need is someone to sit with or a shoulder to cry on. Even thought I highly doubt I would want to do that with anyone. There are not many who I would want to share about this with deeper and more honest like so please don’t say I am here for you. I KNOW.
