Dear Imposter Syndrome,
Would you just keep it quiet for once?
I'm so sick and tired of hearing you fuss.
You whine, you complain,
You rattle my brain;
Won't you please just shut the hell up!
I'm the tortoise, not the hare.
I remember when things seem unfair;
This race will be won
If I keep my eyes on the sun,
And tell that dang voice, "I don't care!"

Ahh, the conscious self. The good, the bad and the ugly. Sometimes that voice has good things to say. Sometimes it's just annoying. Great read!
A wise man once said that it's not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren't doing it. That becomes doubly true when that someone is yourself 😁
Two tablets a day for a week and that’ll clear up 😂
