Okay, this gave me a much-needed chuckle. Imposter syndrome has been on my mind a lot lately, too. I mean, I didn't really *earn* all those subscribers. I just showed up, and they showed up, and it was happenstance. After all, am I even worthy of having that little orange checkmark? And wow, that imposter voice is really convincing!!
