One of my favorite thoughts for this year:

"EVERYONE is faking it"

I've read this thought a few times throughout the year and it really stuck with me.

I frequently think to myself: "why is all this stuff (work, life, bills, relationships) so hard for me but not everyone else? I must be some kind of an idiot"

Perception really IS everything.

The truth is they don't know what they're doing any more or less than I do.

We all put on fake smiles and tell big stories all just to try to give the appearance of credibility and importance.

You are not an idiot. We are all in this experiment of life together.
