Moral victories

So I went to my friend's party with my three "social intention words": I wanted to be illuminating, captivating, and powerful. Well, that didn't quite happen. I was distracted by music, I was fumbling for ways to keep conversations going, and I felt stonewalled within a minute of talking to the most beautiful girl there. But... I was very patient with myself, understanding that I was never good at this and that it just had to be come a muscle for me to build. And in the end, I ended up involving myself in two very engaging conversations.
