This is where my life begins
Stunned.
I am absolutely stunned.
This morning I got a call from Lincoln Center to offer me the internship.
The paid internship in Manhattan.
Why me? Nobody has wanted me thus far. NPR didn’t want me, Utne didn’t want me…. The Law Student didn’t want me… I’d been slogging through all this rejection and I was beginning to feel really down on myself, you know? Regardless of me being lovely and amazing it’s still hard to feel wanted when you keep getting turned down and dumped and rejected, you know? It’s hard. And I hadn’t been doing a very good job, admittedly. But I was trying, I swear.
So now this is what I was waiting for. This opportunity, this time. Now I have a reason behind losing what would have held me back- I had to break the ties. It’s time for me to fly.
Oh God, can you imagine it? I can’t even understand it. But I can see it happening. I can see it coming.
I’m scared, and I’m so happy. I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy in my whole life.
Thank God for this.
