Upwork declined me a few years ago—it’s probably the most profitable thing that has ever happened to me. At the time I was devastated. I was in a dark place. I felt worthless. I had no other choice but to pull my sh*t together to work my way up—the old fashioned way—through painful obstacles. No looking back. Hard pass. Glad you did the same.

(P.S. Great to see you in the comment section again. All the best to you!)
