Dear u/PrideTwo

Today, the battle took a different turn. It felt as if I've become a prisoner of this relentless #WAR, the razor and soap now my captors. But I won't let them break me. I won't surrender to the sting of defeat. Despite the challenges, I stand strong, resolute in my determination to conquer this trial.

As the razor met my skin, I faced the harsh reality of my situation. The blade, once a trusted ally, now seemed to test my limits, inflicting a small cut, a reminder of the struggle. The soap, laden with the scent of #WAR, a constant reminder of the fight I'm in.

But I won't back down. The warrior within me remains steadfast. I maneuvered through the shave with a fierce resolve, refusing to let the difficulties of this day consume me. It may have been a struggle, but I faced it head-on, determined to emerge with my spirit unbroken.

In this battle, even on days like today, there are victories to be found. Despite the challenges, I managed to complete the task, to maintain my dignity in the face of adversity. Tomorrow, I'll rise again, prepared to take on whatever this #WAR throws at me. They may have captured me for a moment, but they won't break me. I'll keep fighting, keep pushing forward, until the day I emerge victorious.

As the thirteenth day of this grueling journey concludes, I am reminded of the strength that resides within. I won't let this #WAR define me; I'll define it. Onward, my journal, through the trials and tribulations, I'll face them all with the unwavering spirit of a warrior who refuses to surrender.

I'm unsure if they'll continue to let me write...

Sincerely...
