Always amazed at how my utter sense of self-confidence and imposter syndrome co-exist in the same brain.

Yep! Do you think one is the truth and the other is a lie?

They may both be the truth, or they may both be a lie. I just think self-love is probably knowing the difference and accepting and affirming that you're actually somewhere in the middle.

Now I'm wondering what part of it is choosing what we believe? A choice?

Yeah, it definitely feels like a choice. How we feel about and toward ourselves (and others) is always a choice. Those choices are informed by a lot of variables and feelings, but at the end of it, we still make a choice.

You know what I love and what I just realized? Gassing myself up (which I struggle with) is the total opposite of gaslighting myself (which I'm really good at).
