Grateful for a new experience via /r/gratitude

Go with the flow and hang on is not my usual MO. But I did it, had a good time, flubbed a lot, but was part of a group, so I was ok.

I would have been terrified to be anything but perfect at another time, crippling me from doing anything.

In particular, I am grateful for the person in the group to whom I reached out for encouragement beforehand. He spoke to me in a way I could hear.
