I’ve been called the most responsible/logical/sable/reliable/together/generally adulty person [that someone knows] quite a few times, by several different people, in recent weeks and instead of making me feel ‘together’ and even more like the strong independent woman that I know I am/can be - it just makes me feel like I’m tricking everyone.

When you look at the facts* objectively, I can see how people are coming to this conclusion, but I can’t figure out when I started seeming impressively stable and it feels like a giant lie.
