Meeting People Is Easy

I was working at The Buckle and as some may know, work is all I talk about these days. But I promise you one thing, I will not blab on and on about work once again. No, this is about something very different, but it all started to come to light working at The Buckle. My job basically consists of talking to people I have never met. I don't know anything beyond their sex, general age, and what style of clothes they wear. But yet still, I have to talk to these people and strike up conversations on a regular basis. And it has made me ponder on how it is I can do this time and time again. The job's main idea is to get rejected. You have to show everyone our clothes and basically have them tell you no, and for you to try again. See though, the weird part is....I don't mind it. I like the job, I love it in fact. And mainly it's for one reason. When I get rejected this much everyday, 40 hours a week, getting rejected in real life isn't that bad. I'm not just talking about women, as much as that is really quite applicable. I'm talking about everything in life. I find myself taking chances I wouldn't before, putting myself out there. I'll talk to everyone and if they don't like me...I'm used to it. It's works for job interviews, or rushing or whatever situation I find myself in. It's a very freeing feeling. I have no fear for what is coming, and that's pretty rare. So I urge, faithful readers, to do the same. Do not fear rejection, do not fear hatred, just fear fear itself. Ok, I do like JFK a little too much, but you get the idea.
