I fucked up my phone but it's not irreparably broken yet

 Sigh. It could have gone the other way. It didn't have to break like I imagine I was destined to, if only I'd looked at the right youtube video at the right time. I got cocky confident and stupid while having zero relevant skills. The good news is things are not as bad as they could have gotten.

I broke the screen of my phone while trying to fix the charger. The charging circuit cost me 10 bucks, the screen 30. The good news is, if I get this right -- and I have to because I've sunk so much time energy and grief on it -- then I'll have my phone as good as new. New screen, new charger and a whole new me.

The bad news is I have literally zero experience in fixing things right. As a child I took things apart as children are apt to do, could never put them back together because didn't have relevant skills or the patience or knowledge. Some kids have it in their intuition. Not me. I'm good at other things, longer projects etcetera, but not in repair it seems which is a little ironic because I do work with computers.

This is for my ego, this is for me and my future. If I can get this one right I'll throw myself a big fucking party because this matters. It's important for me. I care about this. Every child wants to become a fixer, most children either make it and become engineers or give up and waddle about their life. There is no giving up. The Universe has tested me again, and there is no giving up now. I'm looking at the instructions [for two different sets of repairs now], I'll do the first set of repairs...the original breakage, first, and then the second set. Only sad thing is if something doesn't work I won't know which part is the one not working. Ah well. Which is why I have to be super duper extra careful.

All things considered this is maybe an hour of careful work. And I'm already halfway there because I know now how to take apart the screens. I need the glue obviously once everything is back together, and we're all set.

Wish be luck reader.
