for the rejects.
the underdogs.

hey, i'm farza.

a lot of my life i was rejected from what felt like my dreams, and it felt hopeless to keep on the path i was on.

i was bitter, sad, angry, everything.

i remember when i was 20 applying for a summer internship at riot games for the 4th time, and getting rejected after the on-site.

i remember being heartbroken when i was 22 and i spent a year building an app for restaurants, and i would go door to door to sell it, and every owner just closed the door in my face.

i remember being 24 trying to get investors to care about my ideas, and everyone just thought i was a dumb kid with nothing.

i look back at these moments filled with rejection…

it was hard. i hated myself for not being better.

but eventually, i realized these thoughts simply aren't helpful. i changed my mindset from me being a reject to just being an underdog.

someone who would figure it out, wether it took them 10 days or 10 years.

i fell in love with building again.

and 5-years laters, i feel great.
