What is the most underrated choice here

That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where kindness stopped feeling new.
I started this because my late summer felt a little stuck, and family seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.
Part of me wanted the fancy version with all the tools. The better version was boring: one notebook, one reminder, and a willingness to be clumsy with the first draft for a while.
