Summary
Rejection feels brutal because society taught us our value is in being chosen. What if we deconstruct that premise, together? It's about relief, not romance. It's about validation, not love. "If no one is going to arrive and pick you, you make yourself impossible not to keep. You become useful." - Meredith THE SOURCE: https://aftertheclouds.substack.com/p/the-fantasy-of-being-chosen-and-how Read Julie's Medium Blog . Support JULIE (and the show!)
