“Some days, doing “the best we can” may still fall short of what we would like to be able to do, but life isn’t perfect—on any front—and doing what we can with what we have is the most we should expect of ourselves or anyone else.”

You know what I have just realized? I am special. There is no one just like me. It is the same for you. You are as special as can be!

There should be an app on your phone that when you pick it up and start scrolling mindlessly on social media, it displays the text of the book sitting on the table next to you that you've been meaning to read but "don't have time for" instead.
