Imposter Syndrome

I think many of us may be guilty of it. I know I am.

A friend of mine recently posted about feeling out of place, like she wasn't good enough. She is starting her second year of a PhD program at Auburn and shes' brilliant.

There's a thin line between modesty and feeling like a fraud because you can't internalize your own talents. Never feeling like what you do compares to others you admire.

I've read a lot of people here over the last month and a half and I just want to extend a broad kudos to you all. You're all talented writers, and even as I read through books in genres I've never sought, I find enjoyment.

I'm impressed by you all, so please don't feel like my friend studying history at Auburn. Realize your own talents, realize you belong.
