Dear Me: A Little Pain, A Lot of Progress

July 2. Day 2 of Becoming Piyu.
Today hurt — a little on the outside, but mostly in the best way.

🩷 I got my upper lips waxed for the first time.
😳 It was a tiny thing, but felt big. Braver. Neater. Louder.

🧠 I also completed Week 0 of Ethical Hacking (NPTEL).
Not just watching, but really finishing it.
It's revision — but I’m proud. Because I stayed consistent.

🌼 Honestly? Today was good. Not exciting. Not chaotic. Just… good.
No breakdowns. No spirals. Just small wins and a little self-care.

🫶 I’m learning that “becoming” isn’t dramatic.
Sometimes it’s just showing up, doing the work, and letting the wax hurt for 12 seconds so the confidence lasts longer.

That’s the energy I’m taking forward.
Soft. Sore. But steady. 💜
