What the hell is it about that two letter word that most everyone finds it so impossible to say.
NO.
N. O.
Negative. Nyet. Nein. Non.
Is it really so hard to turn someone down? It's impossible to say yes to everything. You cannot be everywhere at once. You cannot fund all the world's causes.
And when did it become acceptable to ignore the question? Who decided, "Well gee, I don't want to - but I'd rather not hurt your feelings BY BEING HONEST so I'll just pretend not to notice."
You want to know what I have to say to that?
NO
You are either going to acknowledge it as one with COMMON DECENCY does, or I am going to brow-beat you to death. Saying no is not a crime and I'm tired of being treated like a criminal for accepting it. You do not get everything you want in live. I have been rejected more times that I can count, for what ever reason.
I. AM NOT. DEAD.
So put your big-kid panties on and get the fuck over it.
Rejection may hurt, but life is pain and anyone who tells you other wise is selling something.
