The universe is probably going to embarrass me for this tomorrow but I'm posting it anyway.

Holy Darkness, you guys, I think I just had something of a revelation. Why do these things always happen at three in the morning?

What a fabulous and inspiring post; I'm really pleased that you can see how great you are!

PS: You should post a picture so we can all admire your awesomeness too :-)

[faithinfire]

Aww, thank you!

I'll see if I can find any good ones! There must've been a couple over Christmas somewhere...

[aiwendel]

Yes! I totally see you as that awesome person, I'm glad you can too! :)

*GRIN*

(oh and I get the 'impostor syndrome' feelings too when WLS is going well...) :-/

[faithinfire]

Thank you! :)

I'm actually pretty fucking badass.

Well duh!! ;-P

*Hugs* of course you are sis, you rock MOST mightily! I'm glad you can finally see what we've all been able to see for years! ;-)

Well, if you put it that way...

Something tells me I should make a post like this, but for the last few years my essential mantra has been "I'm right, I'm brilliant, and I have a piece of paper to prove it" or words to those effects. The piece of paper arrived eight months after the official confirmation, but I was already launching into this way of thinking as soon as Prof. Chris Moody said "I recommend that you will pass".

It also makes me think I should compile a list of what I want to do with my thirties. I have a vision of where it's going to end, just not necessarily the best way to get there.

Horns ablaze.

You remind me that I actually didn't even think to include any of my academic achievements in the list above! Guess that just goes to show what I value about myself, really - but it's more stuff that could go on there, too, so that's awesome.

And I'd be interested to see that list if you write it!

*grin*

"I'm the Rath, and I'm AWESOME!"

About bloody time, lass! I've known for ages ^_^

Impostor syndrome sucks. I know it well. But you know what? I'd rather suffer from Impostor Syndrome than embody the Peter Principle. Take pride in competence and remain fabulous :-D

OMG ICON *asplodes*

Thank you! \m/

And, yes. One of the biggest obstacles in the way of any kind of pride/self-esteem on my part has always been the fear that Murphy is hanging around with a hammer just waiting for me to stick my head above the parapet. So believe me, the last thing I want is to get careless or arrogant! Stop me if I do, 'kay? *hug*
