~Life~
This month has just been pretty much unbearable. Just seriously every single thing that has happened has just made me so, so done with this year. I’m going to go into detail about this a little bit regarding BEA in a later post, because that’s caused a huge amount of stress.
We’re still dealing with a situation at home, so that’s…not fun. More stress there.
I’ve been having a lot of anxiety as well just about everything this month, including BEA, so once again, not fun.
Really, I’m just trying to keep myself in one piece. Haha.
Due to all of this, I’ve gone on a hiatus since the 10th. Fortunately though, I think I’m back. I hope I’m back. I can’t go to BEA when I’m on a month long hiatus, that’s silly.
Here’s hoping May gets better, but I have a feeling it’ll be getting a bit more rockier.

- Game of Thrones returned but I haven’t watched the episode yet. I may just wait until Monday so I can watch two episodes in a row.
