Rejection as a Creative Force

"Rejection as a Creative Force" is a short essay on how a total destruction of one's ego and self-image can, and should, act as a precursor to a rebirth of sorts, a catalyst for striving towards the ideal. Written in January 2023. Now available online as both text and audio.
