You rock, never forget that

don't take it personally if you aren't chosen, truly. sometimes it's not because of the quality of what you are doing, but because they are already full up, or they are full up of the sort of thing they think

you will bring to the event. event organizers often try to balance the right combination of different types of things (so, say, it's not just all hair people in an event, unless it's actually hair fair!)

but always strive to do better, even when you get into those events you want- never being satisfied and forever practicing your skills and learning more is the way to be!

i got rejected many times but honestly, that just makes me want to thrive better and improve. it's a learning progress altogether

and when people start to see how you improve, i believe you'll get into much more better events! don't give up!

Thank you guys! Allegory, you are so right. I don't know why it has become important for me to get into this one event, but oh it has lol. Nanapls, that is exactly how I feel, it only makes me want to be

better! Darn it for silly feelings, but yay for motivation and kind words!

yesss. hang in there, dun give upppp!

BulletJupiter: it's good to have goals, but truly, it may have nothing to do with _you_ and everything to do with other internal things (which may change in your favour without you doing anything!) so don't

let it get you down!
