Monthly Recaps

Monthly Recap 01 ✦ May 2022

Tuesday, May 31, 2022

10 likes
Rather than focusing on the negative, I’m choosing to share the positives of life in a nice little recap each month. I believe it’s better to share what we love and pass on the happiness over fixating on what we don’t like. Hopefully, by sharing what I love, I can inspire others to find things they love just as much! May has been so eventful and chaotic in the best way possible! It has flown by so fast, I honestly can’t believe we’re almost halfway through 2022 already.

Two major things that happened this month are:
   ✶ picking up my baby puppy, Giovanni
   ✶ relaunching my website and blog

CLICK THE LINKS ABOVE TO READ THE BLOG POSTS ABOUT THEM!

In all honesty, this month has been a much-needed improvement from how 2022 started for me. It felt like a new fire started to burn just as I managed to put one out in the past few months. Thankfully with the power duo that is Abilify and Giovanni, I feel a lot better even when I’m still facing uncertainty.

I joke and say that Gio is better than any SSRI but he really is the accountability partner that I’ve been needing. In the few weeks that he’s been home, Gio has been helping me stay on a consistent schedule and has truly been a great motivator to get out of bed in the mornings. For the longest time, my puppy has been the biggest — and only — reason to keep going. I am forever grateful for his unconditional love and friendship!

I hope that things keep improving after the wake of devastation that 2022’s first quarter left behind. Next month is already looking eventful with PRIDE MONTH coming up, Gio’s first IGGIES of NY meetup, and my PAX wardrobe arriving soon! 

don’t forget to share what you’ve been up to this month in the comments below!
I’d love to hear what you’re currently loving!
