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 30: A Missed Book Club Meeting
Today, I had planned on going to a book club meeting for the book in the above picture. I've really enjoyed the book, but I still have 100 pages to read (this book is LONG). So, I skipped the book club meeting.
Result: I could have gone to the meeting, but after an eventful and busy week, I really just wanted to stay home and relax all day. I very easily could have beat myself up for not going to the meeting (and I came close to doing so several times), but I just kept reminding myself that I would be much better off mood-wise if I let myself just stay home, relax, and catch up on some school stuff.
All in all, failing to go to the meeting was a good call :-)
