Mood Check App - React Redux Final Project(updated)

I never actually imagined that my final project was going to be about “feelings.” But a life event happened as I was getting close to my final project. My mood has been changing a lot while I deal with the side effects of chemo. Last July, I was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer.

I came up with the idea because I’ve been wanting to exhibit to some local art galleries. However, I have other more important priorities that I keep forgetting and missing the deadlines.
