It's like shouting into the abyss. Read receipts are not necessary for text messages. They're needed for job emails. Did my email get lost in the inbox shuffle? Will I remain an addition to an ever-growing inbox tally?
Then I wonder about the details. Was there a required subject line. Is my email too generic? Too boring? Too unprofessional?
Finally, I wonder about myself. Is it me? Am I not good enough? Do I not qualify?
That's a lot of thoughts triggered after pressing send. My heart is fills with anticipation with each query I put into the universe, officially (not just in my head as a maybe).
It stings a little when a day passes and no response is returned. A day feels like a lifetime because ships sail quickly these days.
I remind myself that no matter how fast each ship moves, I have to keep faith and patience. It probably wasn't my ship if it leaves without me. Mine will come. In fact, I'm probably building my own.
