Don't let bad thoughts to drag you off you road

A friend of mine was offended by her (now ex) boyfriend. She was quite upset and mentioned to me she was thinking to pay him back. As a side node - please make sure to keep and end up relationship in a good way!

While we were talking I remember how not that long ago I was talking with an indie hacker with an idea, to become co-founder. I liked the idea and we were completing each other with soft and hard skills match, so I've started to plan things up to be part of it. As the guy only had soft skills he asked friend of him to verify my hard skills and we did an interview. Short after it I got short message: "you do not match", no feedback was given from interviewer. I was surprised, but this is not first neither last reject, and definitely not the end of the world. I haven't lost anything, I appreciate that I got quick response and didn't waste a bit of my time.

In about 30 minutes I was leaving to another location and took a bus, trying on the way to get this situation from my head. But instead I started to think what was it to reject my candidature. Was it something I told, or maybe decision was made prior weird 30 minutes interview call with abstract questions. I keep doing it in the bus waiting for my stop and suddenly bus make turn it did not suppose to do - I missed my stop. I didn't had much time, so for second I panicked and started to look where I'm going and almost missed the next stop.

I made it in time back then, but it was huge insight for me: thinking about events and people one don't really need to think about, he can miss what is really important and get pulled off his way. Saying it short and sharp - don't care about crap, cause crap does not care about you.

I wish everyone remember how important to focus on positive and important information and got immune to negative and destructive thoughts. Especially for indie hackers, when often no one around to help you get back on you way, because only you know it or create it.
