I feel like a pore that has been unclogged after a long time. The clog has been present for what feels like a long time.
Unfortunately the pore must continue to be clogged until I extract the comedone.
Unfortunately.

This is a good opportunity to practice holding my emotions.
For example, I can say: I just bought a new winter coat. It looks and feels amazing, and I love it.
I feel strongly possessive towards…this coat. Similarly, I am cherishing this protective feeling. It’s like, “finally, I have the thing I want!”
But right now, it’s not yet cold enough to wear this coat. But I know that when the weather becomes colder, I will enjoy wearing it.
