Hah, moments like these are when all my performance practice really comes in handy. I'm good at putting together a bunch of bullshit in thirty seconds or less and selling it (and I usually volunteer to go first to avoid the copying pitfall, haha). But there have been times when I've choked, and man—I FEEL that "if I'm gonna do something, even something low-stakes, I'm gonna do it GOOD and have it be THE BEST." *glances at the literal novel she's writing for a fanfic event, of all things*
...there's actually a student showcase at the pole studio that I've been avoiding signing up for precisely because I don't feel 'performance ready', even though that's completely not the point of it! It's a showcase! For students! So maybe I'll bite the bullet and sign up when I go in for class tomorrow, because letting go of perfectionism is a worthwhile goal. (It's HARD. But it's worthwhile.)
