Imposter Syndrome is very real. I don't know about you guys, but I basically spend a large portion of my time thinking about it.
I think we as a society spend too much time considering and focusing on our transactions. "Am I enough?" "Do I deserve this nice thing?" "Someone liked my toot - will they figure out I don't have everything together?"
It's interesting when you think about it because if I were to ask you if you have those thoughts - most people would agree. "Sure, that happens sometimes" or "Of course, everyone feels like that sometimes..." right?
If we can agree that everyone feels like that, can we then begin to challenge if people have TIME to be that concerned about you? They are busy worried about their own problem and figuring out if you think THEY are enough.
You are enough. You might stumble, you might need to learn more. But that's okay. That's life. We're all out here doing our best. Some of us seem to be doing better or worse than you - but trust me, that is just the public facade.
Be kinder to yourself. You deserve it.

In the 18th and 19th centuries, some British smugglers left tubs of brandy on the beach for others to collect. One method of hiding the tubs was to cover them with plaster of Paris so that they looked like pieces of fallen cliff.

The sun just manages to break through the clouds as steam rises from the river on a very cold morning in Yellowstone National Park. See more here: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/early-morning-river-scene-yellowstone-national-park-ii-joan-carroll.html

New #introduction for new instance!
I'm Tonya Marie, a mid-50s trans woman originally from Texas but now safely ensconced in Seattle. I'm a semi-retired #math teacher and occasional coder, but my passion is being a housewife for my loving wife.
When I'm not #cooking, #baking, or keeping house, I love #boardgames and both computer and tabletop #RPGs (particularly #pathfinder).
I post livetoots of various cooking and baking endeavors under the hashtag #WhatIsTonyaMarieCooking.
