April was a busy month for me, but also one that was filled with some anxiety.
While I did stay busy, you may have noticed, however, that April wasn’t a very busy month for the blog. I wasn’t able to post as often as I usually do, during this past month- some of it was because I needed some time “off” both from blogging and work- as I celebrated my birthday. As much as I needed that time to disconnect, I found it a little difficult to enjoy my time off because of my constant need of trying to do something productive- which I talked about in this post.
I have to say that sometimes I feel a bit hesitant about opening up and sharing my feelings about things like anxiety or my small little personal struggles here on the blog. Every single time that I do open up though, so many of you say that those posts are relatable and I always get awesome feedback from you guys and I really want to thank you all for always being so kind! I’m hoping that May will be more productive and I’m looking forward to staying busy and active here on the blog! :)
