Confession Time

Warm Springs, Virginia 

1. I deal with imposter syndrome every time I write: over a decade in I still feel woefully unqualified to comment publicly about important issues. 

2. I allow past mistakes to hold too much power over me: I know the train of history pulls in one direction, but I struggle with letting go. 

3. I often allow negative moments to overshadow positive feelings: it sucks because I'm always telling other people to avoid negativity.

4. There are times when finding peace of mind seems impossible: this isn't too often, but when it happens it happens.

5. I'm not a broken person: but sometimes my insecurities take over and make me believe I am.

6. I never want to be sad again: I know it takes saddness to enjoy and appreciate the good times, but I still don't want to hurt more than necessary. 

7. I don't spend enough time with the people I care about: I know this and still haven't made a better commitment to resolving this problem.
