Quotes to ponder:

"Rejection doesn’t mean that you aren’t good enough; It means the other person failed to notice what you have to offer."

"Those who are truly bulletproof don’t just bounce back from setbacks. They go a big step further and don’t let criticism or nastiness in."

"To have intimacy you need to Into Me See."
