Reminder of the day- Feeling like an imposter doesn’t mean you’re failing—it means you’re learning.
At 22, balancing a full-time internship in marketing while pursuing a master’s degree feels like walking a tightrope.
Some days, I look around and wonder, “How is everyone else managing this so effortlessly?”
Spoiler: They’re not.
Imposter syndrome loves to show up when you’re in spaces you’ve worked hard to be in. It whispers, “You don’t belong here.”
But here’s the truth: You earned this. You’re here because you deserve to be.
What I’ve learned:
Imposter syndrome is a sign of growth. If you always felt comfortable, you wouldn’t be evolving.
You’re not alone. Most people—yes, even the ones you admire—feel this way at some point.
Take it one step at a time. Showing up consistently beats feeling “ready.”
Every day brings new challenges, deadlines, and self-doubt. But it also brings opportunities to grow, learn, and get closer to the person I want to become.
To anyone feeling like they don’t belong: you do.
The fact that you are even trying says more about you than you know.
Keep going—you’re doing better than you think.
Have you ever felt like an imposter?
