One thing i have a big problem with is perfectionism. I get into an all-or-nothing mindset where if i can't do something well i would rather not do it at all. When i'm in certain moods that can lead to impatience or frustration with others whose standards aren't the same as mine. When i'm in other moods it can lead me down a hopeless spiral of self

I was shaking like crazy on-stage tonight, i guess not knowing the piece well did do something to my nerves... But i didn't screw up once and man it felt good to be up there again. Yay :)

i know that feeling. i've been an amazing under achiever my entire life because i feel like if i can't do something perfectly right away, i'm too ashamed to try. we should both fail a little more.

Yeah. I've actually been instructed to deliberately fail - doctor's orders. It is horribly hard to do.
