An ode to imposter syndrome
An ode to imposter syndrome Self-worth and self-belief are the two sides of the same coin. We all have seeds of self-doubt planted within us, either from our inner limiting beliefs, trauma or negative projections of other people’s opinions. It is hilarious how we place our self-esteem in the hands of others with ease and then find ourselves in the labyrinth of negative perceptions of ourselves or dwindling confidence in our abilities. Life is a paradox, to heal you must be hurt, amid the most massive of pain and breakdown lies the most eminent breakthrough you would ever receive. If you want confidence and faith in your abilities, you must swim through the turbulent ocean of self-doubt and insecurity.

Once upon a time in the small town of Normal, Illinois, lived a girl named Ndim. She was American, but her father was from an African country called Cameroon. That is why her name did not sound America. Her mother was American. When Ndim was three years old, her parents told her stories about witchcraft and sorcerers in African countries. She was scared about these stories because she did not like witchcraft or sorcerers.

The Quest for being right
You really have no idea how desperate most people are to be right all the time. It’s quite amazing!, they’ll go as far as denying reality itself if that means they can be right in the end. This yearning for validation can shape a person’s judgment and fundamentally influence their overall worldview. Deep down, the need to be right comes from a drive for certainty and self-assurance. Being right is comforting, reassuring, and provides an internal balance. Humans always seek for validation from other humans, this builds up their assurance, ego and happiness, it makes up for the flaws they might have while satisfying their biases.
