i might as well fall flat on my face
Tonight, I made pizza for dinner.
It was almost homemade.
Except the dough. And the sauce. Both were purchased at Trader Joe's.
So, in actuality, I "assembled" a pizza for dinner.
But, it didn't come from a box.
Why should you care?
Well, I can't cook.
But, lately, I've been making an effort to fix dinner.
In spite of my reservations, I'm gaining confidence in the kitchen.
Prepping. Following recipes. Even winging it from time to time.
It's not only cooking that is a struggle.
I can't write.
I'm not good at photography
Or fishing.
I definitely can't draw.
Or paint.
But, I can try.
As James Thurber, put it,
You might as well fall flat on your face as lean over too far backward.
Cook. Write. Take photos. Fish. Draw. Paint.
I might as well fall flat on my face.
