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 190: Pools Usually Aren't my Scene...
But I made an exception this past weekend. My close girl friends and I went to Florida because a good friend of ours was getting married. I stayed in a hotel room with 2 of my friends and one of their sons. So of course, the hotel had a pool.
I had three options: Spend time by myself in the hotel, spend time by myself somewhere else, or hang out with my friends at the pool. I chose the 3rd option. But: What if I get burnt? What if I'm super hot? What if the water is super chlorinated and burns my skin or my eyes? What if what if WHAT IF???
But guess what? I had fun at the pool. I really did! I brought a book. And I went swimming. And some of our other friends showed up at the pool. I did get burnt some, but just in spots where I missed sunscreen, and so it was definitely worth it.
