I took a photo today, and I’m going to put the picture under the cut, and then talk about what it means to me. Which is pretty much the definition of ‘blogging’, I guess.

thinking about adding a facebook ‘like’-style button here, just for some feedback. Just randomly pondering.
My Heart.
There has been a huge change in my life in the past eight months, and I haven’t really talked about it at all. Part of it – a lot of it is the impostor syndrome. There’s a part of me that believes I don’t really deserve this change, and sometimes I feel really weird talking about it.
But if I’m going to fight this thing, then you know what? I have to talk about it. Because what happened to me is the best thing that has happened to me, ever, bar none.
What happened to me… is Emma.
Fighting the Impostor, part 3
Another part of the Fighting the Impostor process for me is this one: Watch your language.
I’ve been doing this. Well, working on this.
Tools of the Trade: updated
A while back, I wrote a post about the things I use to create. But a lot has changed, so I thought I should do an update. (I saw someone look at it on the site states, and figured it could use a bit of an update.)
So: here’s the tools I’m using now:
Fighting the Impostor, Part 2
In my last post, I talked about one of the things I need to work on to deal with my (admittedly self-diagnosed) Impostor Syndrome. And I do want to stress that – this is not me diagnosed with anything other than depression and anxiety. But it does express itself in that way, so I’m using that term for my issues. That may change at some point.
Today’s issue to deal with: Practice accepting compliments.
Fighting the impostor, Part 1
A few days ago I wrote about Impostor Syndrome and how it’s affected me. Shortly after I found a video of this talk from Denise Paolucci at dreamwidth.org about it. Two things from it stuck out for me, and I decided to expand on them more, from my point of view. I’m going to do them separately so that I can give them each the attention they deserve.
better disqus-ion
just to note, today I set up the Disqus commenting system on here. So if you want to leave a message, that should make things a bit easier.
(sorry, not all philosophy and thoughtful things, sometimes just a tech update.)
Impostor.
The psychological experience of believing that one’s accomplishments came about not through genuine ability, but as a result of having been lucky, having worked harder than others, or having manipulated other people’s impressions, has been labeled the impostor phenomenon.
