I worked so hard on what I thought was the one, poured my soul into it, gave it my all and lay dreaming of all the praise I would get once the world realised my genius. My heart - a victim of habit - still skipped a bit when I opened up my email even though I was high on unfounded confidence that this was it. Sorry it read, we enjoyed reading this but will not be using it for our project and my heart crushed into a thousand pieces even though it’s not entirely a stranger to this process. I will pick myself after my therapuetic pity party - the inner debate of whether this is what I’m meant to do and send in another I believe to be ’the one’ very soon.
