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 28: Burlesque
Today I went to a Burlesque show with my boyfriend and some friends. It was at a place in Atlanta called The Shelter. I had never been to the venue. What if it's a dump? What if there's hardly anyone there? Or too many people there?
I had never been to a Burlesque show. What if it's not really a Burlesque show? What if I don't have fun?
Obviously, I worry a lot. And usually I let my worries make my decisions. But that's why I started this project--because I'm tired of letting my worries and fears always win. If I listened to my worries all of the time, I probably wouldn't leave my house. (Seriously.)
Result:
I went to the Burlesque show. And I had fun! It was a cool venue with a very diverse crowd. I really liked the costumes, and it was cool to see dancers with such confidence.
And now I know what pasties are!
