Wednesday, March 22, 2006    2 comments

Rejection is part of life--from the moment you're the last kid picked for the kickball team, to the crush you had on that guy who asked out your best-friend instead.

    I'll definately read this! I'm such an approval seeker and often wonder if it's a writer-thing. Why would God make the creative types so sensitive? Yes, He knows what He's doing..
