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 157: A New Book Club
I LOVE book clubs. I love to read, and I love to be around other people who also like to read. So I joined a new book club. So what could possibly be the problem?
It's amazing the things this little head of mine can think of and come up with. What if I don't have fun? What if I don't like the restaurant? What if there's a ton of people and so then I feel overwhelmed and don't say anything? It's at 6pm, so what if traffic really sucks and I get stuck in rush hour and I am really cranky when I get there? Hey, I'm not proud of the thoughts I think, but at least I admit them lol.
So I went to the book club. And you know what? I had fun. I mean, I do this to myself ALL OF THE TIME. I even do it when it comes to trivia with friends. I KNOW I will have fun, but I still always worry that maybe I won't.
So yeah, I am glad that I went. And I liked the book too, which is always a plus :-)
