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 139: Traffic Jam
To make a long story short, I got caught on I-285 in a major traffic jam. I was stuck there for at least half an hour.
Result: I was cranky and pissed and hot. And I only had 3 lines left on my gas level. And I was in the very left lane, so I couldn't just get off the interstate and get gas. Plus that would have only put me more behind on the interstate and caught with the jam.
Eventually the traffic jam stopped, and I was able to coast along. I stopped at a Starbucks to kill time until a 5pm appointment, and I was super cranky there.
I totally failed at not getting stressed out and not getting pissed off. But I did let myself be in a cranky mood, and that was kind of fun :-)
