I relate so much to your plight!! Being confident is genuinely so difficult, but everyday is a chance to practice. Something I do? Play pretend. Listening to music that pumps me up and wearing an outfit I like usually helps, but the rest is all an elaborate disguise. At first I thought it was delusional for me to think I’m hot shit, and it felt silly to even pretend like it was true. Recently, I’ve actually started to believe it, and I think normalizing that thought in my head through pretending really helped.

Cosplaying as hot shit might be my motto for the year.

and congrats!! But also instead of thinking "Am i the imposter?" I go "I am the infiltrator, and I'll keep at it until I get caught lol" and then eventually it becomes second nature, and you stop worrying about all that and start worrying about yet another thing instead. Life is funny like that.

the easiest way is to permeate your negative thoughts with positive ones, to an outrageous, ridiculous extent. when i find myself thinking my art sucks, i say aloud "no i am so good and i am also so pretty and funny" and eventually it works.

Last night I spent 5 hours with my friends in my living room instead of doing my work, and at first I thought “wow I was not productive tonight,” but then I realized that hanging out with friends and letting my mind rest is incredibly productive!! I feel so refreshed this morning

I’ve recently begun to think I’m extremely beautiful, something I’ve never consistently thought about myself. It feels so silly, and I’m sometimes baffled by it, but I’m also enjoying it a lot.

How lucky am I that I actually miss school when I’m at home, and miss home when I’m at school??? Being able to miss something, to look forward to returning, is such a privilege, and I will never take it for granted
