My biggest struggle since the start of Lent is actually being grateful and unashamed. Ever since I gave up cheese for Lent, I’ve also tried saying grace before every meal.

I have an exam tomorrow. I’m probably unprepared in the sense that I could be more prepared for it if I studied more. If I had more time. But tonight was good. To catch up on life.
