For so long i’ve had a physical repulsion to activities i’m bad at which really hindered my ability to get better and be expose to new things. Which is so lame and ego-driven. Now i’m bracing being a novice and trying to feel lucky about getting a chance to learn something new. Being the worst at something is kinda a nice spot to be in.
it's okay to be bad at stuff!! don't let some video of an 8 year-old (insert skill here) prodigy make you feel inconsequential. make shitty music. draw like a little kindergartener who can't hold a pencil very well. fail at landing an ollie. it's better to start somewhere and be terrible at first (with room to improve) than never start at all.
builds character. no one is looking at you weirdly i promise just see the movie by yourself bae. if nothing else do it because joan didion also thinks it’s a good idea. just don’t isolate
