imposter syndrome in life

⛅️ This week has been a bit hazy—I haven’t been feeling my best. And that’s okay. There are days like that. But this time, it felt like something deeper, as if something was off. Like I wasn’t enough .

🌞 Thankfully, as the days went by, I started to feel better. Today, I feel like myself again—like I’ve put my human suit back on and climbed back on the horse.

✏️ I picked up my pencil and started drawing again, just me and my iPad, without any expectations weighing me down. It felt good—peaceful even—to create for the sake of creating.

🦉 What I’ve realized is this: It’s not bad to have goals or aspirations. Those are important! But what becomes unhealthy is chasing perfectionism while trying to achieve those goals. For me, perfectionism turns into a spiral—not rainbows and butterflies but a storm cloud of self-doubt.
I guess I just want to share this in case anyone out there needs to hear it: It’s okay to be imperfect. And most importantly, it’s okay to just be yourself.

🎨 As part of my journey back to myself this week, I decided to draw something simple and even try my hand at a little animation since it had been a while. Here’s what I came up with:

Imposter syndrome can be deceiving—it whispers lies about your worth and tries to steal your joy—but just like anything in life, this too shall pass.

🎢 The ebbs and flows are part of life’s natural rhythm; you’d think I’d have learned that by now! But life has its way of (re)teaching us lessons when we need them most.

To anyone reading this who might be struggling: Be kind to yourself. You’re doing better than you think you are. And remember— you are enough.

Godspeed
