Impostor Syndrome | Shorts

I won’t lie, I feel like a fraud sometimes. Today happened to be one of those days. I’m not new to feeling like this. For the past several years, through my own hardships & perseverance, I’ve found myself being challenged in ways like never before. As much as I have tried to convince myself that I would make it, deep down, I always wondered if I have been unrealistic about my own goals & hopes. It is in these moments that wondered if I had made the right decisions that have led me here. Why do we experience self-doubts? Personally, I could think of a few influencing factors like my upbringing, fear of the unknown, facing new challenges and perhaps subconsciously comparing myself with my peers. Perhaps all I have to do now is to stop myself, ground myself and focus on the little steps that I can take, and trust that in time, I’ll be able to turn my goals into reality.
