Being You When You Feel Like an Imposter

I have constantly felt out of place, yet to others have seemed all together. I want to be included and make myself and others proud, but acknowledge that it may not always be the case. So I say all that to say, I don't think I'm the only one. I think we all have a great way of masking our true feelings in one way or another. I'm here to say " I see you", in a world of people who think your smile is real, "I see you". Let this short message be the best you needed to acknowledge your mask and work actively to address the shadow of yourself that you're constantly trying to hide. As Maya Angelou said "If you spend your life being normal, you may never realize how amazing you are".
