I am a perfectionist and have always had an utter disdain for failure. This has kept me from trying a lot of things in my life. Having finally accepted that failure is a requirement for a fulfilling and diversified life experience, I have created this year long project in an attempt to become comfortable with the idea of failing. This blog chronicles my journey with failure.

Day 24: All Your Brainz R Belong to Us
I am still (kind of) addicted to the computer game Plants vs. Zombies. There was one level that I could not get past. And since I hate failing, I would only try a couple of times before giving up. A couple of days later, I would try again. And give up.
So today, I decided to conquer this level and give myself an hour to see if I could get through the level.
Result:
It took me 26 minutes to accomplish the level. Surprisingly enough, after a while I didn't mind failing so much. I just kind of accepted that I was going to fail. And then, eventually, I got through it and beat it! It felt pretty damn good, both to let myself fail and to accomplish the level through simple trial and error.
