Rejection Slips

A poem I had submitted to a magazine was rejected. I didn't get a "rejection slip" because it was an e-mail, but it still works out to be the same thing.

Am I sad? Depressed? I am a little sad a poem was rejected, but, at the same time, this is actual proof I am trying to get my writing out there for the world to read. In this way the rejection is a positive thing, and fodder for my determination to kick in to a higher gear.
