Dear Zig,
Just read your words to me:

"I read yesterday - that one can reframe rejection and see it not as someone rejecting us and who we are, but rather that it's the universe's protection for us"

Given what I've learned about my h today (see my post if you have time), this is more than apt - it is a sanity-saving perspective for me.

Thank you, and keep on being your brilliant self!.
