Imposter syndrome š
ā ļø This week has been a bit hazyāI havenāt been feeling my best. And thatās okay. There are days like that. But this time, it felt like something deeper, as if something was off. Like I wasnāt enough.
š Thankfully, as the days went by, I started to feel better. Today, I feel like myself againālike Iāve put my human suit back on and climbed back on the horse.
āļø I picked up my pencil and started drawing again, just me and my iPad, without any expectations weighing me down. It felt goodāpeaceful evenāto create for the sake of creating.
š¦ What Iāve realized is this: Itās 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 spiralānot 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: Itās okay to be imperfect. And most importantly, itās okay to just be yourself.

šØ 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. Hereās what I came up with:
Imposter syndrome can be deceivingāit whispers lies about your worth and tries to steal your joyābut just like anything in life, this too shall pass.
š¢ The ebbs and flows are part of lifeās natural rhythm; youād think Iād 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. Youāre doing better than you think you are. And rememberāyou are enough.
Godspeed
