I got some excellent news this week, I can’t share it yet, but I will at the end of next week. One thought occurred to me after receiving this news. Clearly, I am hallucinating. There is no way that I actually did it. After years of attempting to achieve this specific goal, I’ve made it.

What is impostor syndrome?

People who struggle with imposter syndrome believe that they are undeserving of their achievements and the high esteem in which they are, in fact, generally held. They feel that they aren’t as competent or intelligent as others might think—and that soon enough, people will discover the truth about them.

This is me, standing up to my own self-image. I am competent and capable, and I know my shit

All that said, look out for a post on Wednesday with great news!

    You appear to be a wonderful/hardworking person, and I am sorry that you seemed to have to deal with imposter syndrome! It can be so difficult to feel undeserved.

    As for the news, though, I am excited to hear what it is! ⭐️.

      Thank you so much! The new role is in Human Resources, I will be working as a consultant, and I have been attempting to make the career jump for a few years now. Your words mean so much to me! I hope you are having a good weekend.
