Journal Party what's up party people ? So the other day I was at this little cafe in town . It's one of my favorite brunch spots and I found myself overhearing a conversation between two writers . They were discussing the struggles of imposter syndrome and how often they questioned their talents despite their successes . It got me thinking about how that pesky voice of self-doubt isn't just a whisper in the ears of artists or creatives . It's something that all of us face at one point or another , whether it's questioning our work or decisions , or even our day-to-day abilities . Self-doubt can be a real party crasher .
