Imposter syndrome

Today I learned that my feeling of believing I’m a bad person who has tricked a lot of people into think I’m a good person, it’s called imposter syndrome.

Do you ever just feel like..

I’m so done saying things over and over again for my toddler not to listen, I’m not gonna yell, raise my high blood pressure by stressing about things today, if you wanna chew on your shoe, throw food off the high chair, mess up the house, eat mud be my guess, as long as I get to have a moment of peace 😂
