Dear Diary,

Today was a rough day. In a moment of carelessness, I accidentally dropped my mom's mobile phone, and it stopped working entirely. The screen cracked, and it just wouldn't turn on again. My heart sank as I picked it up, hoping it wasn't as bad as it looked, but it was. The anxiety of telling mom about what happened was almost as bad as watching the phone fall. When I finally mustered up the courage to tell her, I was trembling. Surprisingly, she was upset but more concerned about my reaction than the phone itself. She could see how sorry I was and comforted me, saying we could figure out a solution together. I feel so guilty and disappointed in myself for being so clumsy and causing this mess. It's hard to shake off the feeling of dread, but I am grateful for my mom's understanding and kindness in handling the situation. It's a tough lesson in responsibility that I won't soon forget.
