Spotlight Syndrome Quotes

People always assumed I was fearless. Unstoppable. Destined for this.  But the truth? I was a fake-it-’til-you-make-it girl.  I just did the damn thing with shaking hands, a stomach full of nerves, and a head full of chaos. I had guts. I had grit. But I had to push myself—off the ledge. Onto the stage. Through the fear. Down the metaphorical fire escape and into the spotlight. Impostor syndrome had followed me like a shadow for years. I wasn’t a rock star. I was a girl with classical training, a good voice, who felt things deeply and had a hell of a lot of luck on the way. So how the hell did I end up here? I wasn’t born for this. But every time I stepped out there—I proved myself wrong.  And proved everyone else wrong, too.
