My wife convinced me to try the app Finch to help with building habits & caring for myself better. It is definitely working so far! I want to get all my tasks done each day to get new outfits and things for my bird lol! & I like being able to hang out with her character too! (Mine is the princess)
Screenshot from Finch app. Two birds in a room. Room has blue walls and ceilings. A starry bed, a pretty window with vines and flowers. A wood door with vines. A sun clock, a hanging lamp, a dresser. Blue bird with princess hat and green wings and blue necklace, has a little ghost pet with a hat. Green bird with a purple hood, eyepatch, olympus costime, hook for a hand. Has a blue worm pet.

Reading Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson for class. Haven't read it in years.
I relate to a lot in the book, so it is a challenging read, yet also healing.
Cover of the book Speak by laurie halse anderson. Picture is a girl's face behind a foil silver tree. "The groundbreaking novel that changed everything."
