The Impostor Chronicles

My First Forty Years of Faking, Failing, and Fumbling Through Life

I’m turning forty in a few months, and what do I have to show for my life? What is my legacy? Is it too early to tell or too late to do something about it?

After countless years into my “mid-life” crisis I’ve moved on from FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) to AIMO (Acceptance I Missed Out).

It is time to STOP, pick myself up again, and learn from forty years of faking, failing, and fumbling through life.

This series will chronicle what I have learned trying to do things I felt (and mostly confirmed) were beyond my capacity in situations where I felt I did not belong (mostly too lazy and/or antisocial to try)…my life as an impostor.

I hope that looking back at where I’ve been, will help me figure out where I want to go. At least it will be fun to remember and try to fake new and improved memories out of this.

I will surely fumble and fail as I try to do this. Your feedback will probably hurt and sting but I will fake a smile and take it.
