Hey, long time no see!
Summer is usually a time when I’m super-busy, reading and looking forward to a trip.
This summer has been a little different. I went on a couple short trips in the spring and will do another one in the fall, but this summer I am (yay?) staying put in New York. (And at the moment, sweltering.)
THIS SUMMER I’M FEELING STUCK
I’ve also been feeling a little off balance lately. I struggle with anxiety and mine has been bad. Someone close to our family died very unexpectedly, and I’m struggling with that. Summer is also the anniversary of something very difficult for me personally, and I had that to contend with. I think it’s just been a lot at once. There’s nothing really wrong with me specifically, but I think that also makes me feel guilty. Why can’t I get it together??
I find in these situations that it’s good for me to get back into a routine and feeling at least semi-productive. Accountability! So I’m going to try to get back into a reading and blogging routine, get back on Instagram and Twitter. I always feel better when I get to talk to my blogging and reading friends.
How is your summer going? If it’s great, I’d love to hear about it. If you have funny, romantic, escapist books you’ve read and loved, please tell me about them! If you have tips for me about how to get out of a general life slump – please, fill me in!
A while back I wrote a Mood Read post about what to read when you’re anxious and I think I need to go check that out!
