This is as close as I could get without completing losing it to blurriness.

As the day winds down, take a moment to notice one thing you handled with care — even if it felt small. Progress isn’t loud. Most of the real work we do happens quietly, in moments no one else sees. I’ll be sharing these reflections each evening, and I’d love to hear yours too. What’s one thing you did today that you’re proud of, or simply grateful for?

Posting here to try and slow down, process my emotions, not smoke, etc. I've been in a rut due in part to a fixation I have with skin picking. It causes me immense pain and shame. And unfortunately leads to me being late, or altering my schedule to cover up the damage done. I have reached out for help and am working on a plan to allow healing. So long as I am able to resist doing more damage. Also received news that while I was making a big deal out of my face picking, my father had a negative prognosis from a cancer test, and will need more treatment. The family put off telling me to not upset me. But I feel worse bringing up my own problems to them while my family had bigger issues and I not only didn't provide support, but also stress them further. To summarize with brutal honesty: it's a rough day. It sucks having to fight back tears constantly.
