April started off as a really good reading month, but ended up not being so great towards the end because that's when I went into a reading slump that I couldn't really get out of it. I spent this month trying to catch up to my Goodreads goal so I read a lot of shorter books. It would've worked out if I kept it up but unfortunately, life had other plans. But, reviews! Reviews Bossman by Vi Keeland I don't know what it was about this book that didn't do it for me. I really thought this was going to be another one of those steamy books I love, but for the most part, it was okay. I think the past vs. present story line wasn't something I really enjoyed. While I get that the author was trying to show the tragic past of the male protagonist, I felt like it was dragged on too long. It could've been told as a prologue and then I would've felt more attachment seeing his side of the story as well. I found this to be a little predictable and overall meh in the sex...
In late March, I started noticing I was feeling depressed. I didn't want to do most of the things I enjoyed, and felt tired all the time. I started just laying around when I got home and those feelings intensified the more I wanted them to go away. By April I was crying a lot, sleeping a lot, and doing a lot less. But I got through every day and then went on vacation.
My vacation was a lot of fun, don't get me wrong, but I know we missed out on a lot of fun things during our trip because I constantly felt tired and in need of a nap. At least I didn't cry. I felt really down when we got back home and then a few days after returning to work, I got horribly sick and had to take a week and a half off work. It was the last thing I needed, to be honest, but spending time at home trying to get better made me feel like I was finally getting the rest I needed. I did some research during my free time and read up on what might be causing my depression. I made some changes and they helped.
After getting better, I went back to work for a few days, then went on a shorter cruise with my grandma. This one was spent more relaxed and doing more things. When I got back home, I noticed my moods had improved. I felt myself returning back to normal and wanting to do things I had missed. I spent a lot of June just focusing on being happy.
Now that the days are warmer and the sun is out more frequently, I definitely feel a lot better. And that's where I'm at now. Coming back to doing things I enjoy, such as blogging. So these last few months haven't been the greatest, in my head, but otherwise I would say things are going well. I'm working every day and enjoying my weekends by working out and doing things I want. I still haven't completely gotten back to reading or filming YT videos, but I'm slowly getting into the swing of things. And I am glad to be back :)
