#lemon8diarychallenge I love using this because when I am about to have a mental breakdown or cry session I really get to identify what I’m ACTUALLY feeling instead of just saying “I’m sad” or I’m “mad” it helps navigating the actual emotion I’m feeling instead of an umbrella term #emot

Does it Hurt review
This is my favorite book of the year so far! It's an enemies to lovers, and the drama doesn't lack. The spice is good but it doesn't over rule the plot. It has a good twist at the end. I thought I knew how it was going to go but I was I'm for a surprise! Absolutely loved this book.

A handwritten note on lined paper states "Remember addicts are hurt people too," with colorful text and drawings like a band-aid, balance scale, heart, and butterfly. It emphasizes accountability, boundaries, and that recovery is possible, while acknowledging the humanity of those with addiction.

Addiction doesn’t erase a person’s humanity. Behind the choices, the pain, and the chaos, there’s still someone’s spouse, mother, father, sister, brother, or child. 💔 ✔️ What they do is not okay. ✔️ Who they hurt is not okay. But they themselves are still human, still worthy of love, and sti
