I have spent most of my life feeling driven by the idea that I am not enough.
Whether I’m applying for an award or talking about my career with someone over drinks, I don’t really feel comfortable listing my accomplishments.
Even writing this article, I don’t feel my voice is particularly useful or cogent.
Of course, I don’t just let these feelings win. I sit with them, challenge them, and try to write or say the words my feelings deny. And I know I’m not alone.
