and congrats!! But also instead of thinking "Am i the imposter?" I go "I am the infiltrator, and I'll keep at it until I get caught lol" and then eventually it becomes second nature, and you stop worrying about all that and start worrying about yet another thing instead. Life is funny like that.

I relate so much to your plight!! Being confident is genuinely so difficult, but everyday is a chance to practice. Something I do? Play pretend. Listening to music that pumps me up and wearing an outfit I like usually helps, but the rest is all an elaborate disguise. At first I thought it was delusional for me to think I’m hot shit, and it felt silly to even pretend like it was true. Recently, I’ve actually started to believe it, and I think normalizing that thought in my head through pretending really helped.

Literally everyone is doing it in one way or another. Faking confidence, faking knowledge, faking being OK all the time. You aren’t falling behind—everyone is just really good at pretending they know what they’re doing and have their shit together.

it's totally cool to age and society still isn't equipped to deal with that.

Sometimes you try your best and everything seems to hit the fan no matter how much you try, so you take that raincheck and take yourself out for a day.

This is what I call it hahahah made by mums everywhere but the greased up version is sold along stalls in Mumbai. Two regular slices of white bread, buttered, and the middle filling is cream cheese with red onions, coriander/cilantro, tomatoes and some minced chillis. All veggies chopped mini cube size so they blend with the cheese. Toasted crispy.
