There was once a time when I truly believed there'd be this magical moment when the insecurity and self-doubt would wash away, and I'd absolutely know I was a great writer, podcaster, movie critic, performer, chicken wing eater, or whatever other passions I'd pursue.
I've been professionally writing for a long time and got many different publications and businesses to pay for my work.
I've been podcasting for over a decade and had a large media company pursue us to be a part of their roster.
I've performed in two stage shows (with another on the way) in front of large audiences.
Yet, most days I still feel not good enough, wrestle with imposter syndrome, or am convinced the compliments only came from mistaken identity.
This is the moment when I realize that is just how my creative journey is going to rock and roll.
For me, confidence isn't a belief that I'm truly awesome at all I do. Instead, confidence is realizing I could fail miserably, and being okay with that.
Keep on creating and pursuing excellence despite the chance it could go up in flames.
Except for chicken wing eating. I'm a champ at that.

I am a writer, so I write. When I am not writing, I will eat candy, drink beer, and destroy small villages.
