She's Evolving (I'm She) 🦋

Time flies by so quickly, leaving you astonished by its effects.

One day you decide to enroll into a society , the next you know , you're leading a team. I still remember how excited I was over the prospect of joining a society and living the ideal college life , amidst all of that , I had this fear running in the back of my mind that I'm not as good as the others. College made me question myself , my worth, but within such chaos I was able to find my true strength. Yes, maybe I'm not like the others , but being different was also okay. Not fitting into conventional standards is perfectly alright. I wish someone would have told this to little Vanshita that believing in yourself does count , that one day she'll finally be at peace knowing the fact that she's getting out of her comfort zone.

When I got appointed to lead a team , it made me so anxious, it still does. The constant question is, am I really suitable for this? Will I ever be able to bring my vision to life? Would I be able to help people in their writing journey? All of this was only possible because of the support I gained from people I adored.

Leading a team full of wonderful people has changed me in so many ways, people telling me how much they've been able to learn from me and aspire to have qualities like me has instilled a different level of confidence that brings me joy and gives a good boost to my ego (haha).

What I'm trying to convey is the fact that if right now you're feeling anxious, doubting yourself for any new opportunity you've bagged or any internship you've joined - please do remember that you are your biggest strength and how cliche it may sound, ultimately towards the end - things do work out for the better.
