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 147: (Veggie) Sushi
For a week now, I had been planning on going to my favorite sushi place, Kuroshio, with some of my close girlfriends.
Result: I didn't go. I battled back and forth about it all day. Should I go? Shouldn't I go? When it comes to doing things with people, I'm afraid that if I skip out or miss one social event, I'll miss something life-changing; or that one event will cause my friends not to like me as much. It's realy hard to explain. So when I don't feel like doing something social, I usually make myself do it anyways. And almost 100% of the time I have fun, but sometimes I just want to cut myself some slack. So today, I didn't beat myself up for skipping out on sushi :-) I know that I will see my friends another day, and despite my negative thoughts, I know that this one event would NOT have been super duper life-altering.
