May wasn’t the best month for me in general. I already touch on it in my April wrap-up however, just in case you haven’t seen my April wrap-up I will explain a bit here. I was hit with a really rotten head cold followed by a low point with my anxiety which resulted in me taking an unexpected break from blogging. I also went through a bit of a reading slump. May is quite a hard month for me normally anyways as it is my grandad’s anniversary month and this May was quite a big anniversary. On the 23rd of May it was 10 years since we lost him so I always find May difficult. The day we lost him I lost apart of my heart he was my best friend, the person who adored poetry and writing it so much that he instilled that love in me too π₯Ίππ₯° I’m going stop there as writing this piece hit me harder then I thought it would. So without further ado here is my May Wrap-Up:
