Living with this feeling
The rejection email arrives while Drew is eating cereal over the sink. For a minute, every application feels like evidence that the door is locked. Then Drew notices the handwritten note taped above the kettle: Keep one promise to tomorrow. It was written during a harder season. Drew lets the disappointment be real, updates one line on the résumé and sends a message to a former coworker. Hope is not certainty that the next answer will be yes. It is the decision to leave tomorrow a way to find you.
“Tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet.”From Anne Shirley, Anne of Green Gables
