On Feeling Legitimate

I know I'm not the only one. 

Everybody feels like a fraud sometimes. Imposter Syndrome strikes at the crummiest times. In the middle of a project, just as you're about to hit post, right after you share your best work with strangers. 

But I know I'm not the only one. That countless, scrappy others are also on their computers early in the morning, late at night, during naptimes and on weekends trying to do the thing(s) they love on top of a lot of other things they love (or just have to do).

I sit in a comfortable house, with everything in the world at my fingertips. I've been blessed beyond measure. So why is it so hard sometimes to just do it? Why do we self-sabotage or doubt ourselves or feign apathy when we really care so much?

Working on a podcast project for myself. You can follow along and catch a link to the first episode @littlethingspodcast!
