Dear u/PrideTwo
Today marked the seventeenth day of this enduring #WAR, and as I faced the mirror, there was a sense of familiarity in the routine. With the razor in hand, I navigated the familiar path, the blade meeting my skin with practiced precision. But today was different, a realization unfolding with each stroke - morning shaves seem to go smoother than those in the mid-afternoon.
The scent of the soap, that lingering aroma of #WAR, was still there, but somehow less overwhelming. It's as if we've grown accustomed to each other, as if the soap itself is showing signs of relenting, just a bit. And as the lather formed, a reflection in the frothy concoction, a reminder that there's an end in sight, that the bottom of the tub is slowly revealing itself.
As the razor glided across my skin, I found myself contemplating the journey so far. The battles, the resilience, the small victories - they've shaped me in ways I couldn't have foreseen. And now, with the seventeenth day behind me, the finish line feels a little closer, a little more attainable.
As the day comes to a close, I'll take this newfound insight with me. Morning shaves hold a promise of smoother paths, and the scent of the soap, once overpowering, now seems to bear witness to the journey we've shared. With each day, I inch closer to that final victory, to the day when this #WAR will be but a memory. Until tomorrow, my journal, I'll continue to navigate this path with determination, guided by the lessons of each day. Onward, through the evolving landscape of this journey.
