"I still feel like some sort of a fraud. I think that I need to get over myself." Yes, you do. :o) Specifically, to be more helpful, you need to get over the idea that there are "non-frauds" out there who have somehow surpassed you on a level of integrity, literacy, whatever (none of these should be your sore points, so insert your own) and that having FINALLY attained that point your goodself, you have "ARRIVED!!!!" and may then change your identity from person to, slightly, somehow, just better than the person you were before. Seen at its worst, this phenomena comes up when previously self-deprecating teenage musicians become ego-monster rock stars. Seen at its best, well it's you really, but just accept that there are no categories aside from, you do two difficult jobs (EMT & writer) extremely, actually painfully, well, and so deserve all the credit you can get from both. And nothing more. Or, less. And you still poo in the morning and you will never be either a fraud, or entitled - you're just, you. And that is bloody great. (disclaimer - vast background in music industry, talking people who thought they were the new Messiah down, shortly after talking them out of giving away all their money because they felt unworthy. So, FWIW really, and apologies if I've missed the mark, I frequently do....)

Welcome to Random Acts Of Reality, a Blog based in London, England, written by an E.M.T working for the London Ambulance Service. Also, number one search result for "Womble porn". All names have be changed to protect the guilty. This Blog was previously known as "Why I Hate Humanity" but the antipsychotic medication seems to have kicked in.

All opinions on this website are mine alone, and may not reflect those of the L.A.S or other ambulance crews
