I have this thing where I almost constantly feel/fear that I will not be good enough.
I don't know where it comes from.
But I think I've pretty much always had it.
I remember being in elementary school and staying up late crying because I knew my homework wasn't perfect.
And its weird because nobody ever pressured me into doing well.
I just did it to myself, and pretty much still do.
The start of the school year has been rougher than I thought it would be. This is mainly because I scored an internship that I really wanted and that not everybody gets. Its made me incredibly stressed out. I want to do well so bad, and I really worry that I won't. And I constantly question my life choices. What am I doing? Was it the right decision to keep going to school? Am I even going to succeed as a translator? What will I do if I don't?
All that to say that I've been thinking, and here's what I've realized.
Maybe I am exactly where I need to be.
I mean who said it was supposed to be easy?
Maybe all of theses experiences are meant to teach me to have a little bit more faith in myself.
That might just be exactly what I need.
