This is such a relatable situation, but described with so much drama! Some walls just do not seem to like allowing decor to be placed upon them. I also absolutely adore your phrasing of the pin going into the wall up to its hilt :)

Thanks Olivia! A lot of drama, I agree 😂 At first, I was just going to succinctly describe the moment that the thumbtack wouldn't go into the wall, then it became this hyperbolic, extended metaphor.

Glad you were able to leave this experience with your thumb stick in-tacted!

Life is funny like that sometimes: we can summon incredible strength to make a "final push," only to realize how far we still truly have to go. Loved the read!

And then we somehow find more energy and motivation to keep keeping on!
