Dude, I’m a total phony. People think I have my act together, and I don’t even have the energy to say pshaw anymore. I do think I have good handwriting so I guess I have that going for me.

it’s amazing how much more in control everyone seems from the outside. that self confidence is almost 100% of the time some sort of front, the few that actually are as self assured as they seem are either actual happy people or assholes.

People often make the same mistake about me.

The funniest one I hear is,"You seem so confident!" Me....the most self conscious, neurotic, and paranoid person on the planet.....confident? Not likely!

If it makes you feel better...I never thought you had your sh*t together! (hee-hee)

Do people still write things by hand? I send myself e-mails.

I agree. You DO come across as being very together.

PS – Everybody hates their body.

Oh God! I always hate it when people say that I am together and confident. I think in my head who am I fooling, them or me? It's so weird how your outer and inner selves can be so conflicted, ya know?

And if you are a jelly bean, you are most definitely bubble gum, sugary and delicious. (and, no, I'm not coming on to you!)

You have AWESOME handwriting by the way. I've always thought that you have "cool girl" handwriting!

You do come across as having it together. I think it's common to think that about ourselves, that we are flailing. But we also learn to cover it well.

You're way more beautiful than a jelly bean.

I definitely have that imposter syndrome, too. And you are my favorite kind of jelly bean.
