"and oh this too shall pass, this loneliness won't last for long" April 2021 RECAP

 



never fear, i am not dead. April was a very very stressful month.. and blogging kinda took a backseat to all of the other things i had to deal with. 



Sins, Sons, and Siren Songs by Sarah Rodecker and Helena George//COVER REVEAL


rip i'm gonna try to blog more in May but i make no definite promises :(


(oh and also MK left the blogosphere for now :( and every Tuesday and Thursday, i'd wake up so excited to read her posts and they wouldn't be there :((((( So i miss her) (even tho i knew about this plan since November, i'm still very sad about it but we wish her luck on her journey <3) 



so basically the day after Easter my sister got sent to the hospital with breathing problems and she ended up staying there for 2 weeks cause her lung was partially collasped and she has blood clots and just a lot of problems. And since we work together and shes my boss. Work kinda got very stressful and everything got shoved on my shoulders. She still is not back at work and probably wont be for a while. 

I'm hanging in there??? Not very well tbh but eh. 


ALSO SHADOW AND BONE!!!!! CAN WE TALK ABOUT THAT CAUSE I HAVE THOUGHTS!! I"VE ALREADY WATCHED 4 TIMES 



April was a very good writing month for me. i didn't quite hit my Camp NaNo goal but i got farther than i thought i would. Who wants another snippet??


before i knew 

you had snuck up on me 

and filled my every waking hour

and sometimes my dreams as well



i’d like to get to know you better

and i know

that im setting myself up for a broken heart

but i really want to see where this goes

  2. Praying for your sister! I'm so sorry, health scares send all semblance of normal into chaos. Sending love your way! <3

    If you need blogging as a way to de-stress then I would love reading your thoughts on Shadow and Bone as well as The Raven Cycle! I haven't seen or read either but I am very interested in one of them. :) Thanks for the fun snippets! <3
