are you an imposter as well?

 I KNOW I am not the only person who feels like an imposter. In fact, I'd hazard to guess we all feel that way from time to time, at the very least. It's a normal part of the human experience....except no one talks about it!

I've been feeling like an imposter for quite a while now. My last divorce threw me for a loop, even though it was my choice. I act like I'm so happy and things are great. And in a lot of ways, they are! My kids are healthy and happy, crushing it as they move into adulthood. My relationships that suffered during my marriage with my family and friends have been restored. My cat is living her best life!

But as I sit alone on the couch night after night, it's easy to let the depression and sadness creep in. I'm really good at being positive for others, and even for myself sometimes. But I keep letting myself get pulled down.

So I'm writing this blog for all the folks out there that can vibe with me. Yes, I know blogging is a boomer sport but I don't care. If you care to share your thoughts with me, email me at theauthenticimposter@gmail.com.
