Month in Review(s) - February 2019



February was... OK.

Look, I'd love to say it was great. But my Depression has been kind of up-and-down.

So I can't honestly call it 'great' - but 'ok' is fairly accurate.

I survived it. I even enjoyed some of it. So 'ok' is what I'm gonna call it.



And I haven't had many 'ok' months lately - so I think that's pretty good going! 😁

(Ironically, given the Depression/Anxiety, I'm actually naturally quite optimistic. In a cynical way, maybe, but the optimism's still there! #WalkingContradictionForLife)

Partly, I have the awesomeness that is The Umbrella Academy on Netflix to thank for the OK-ness of February - never doubt the little things, my nerdlets, they make the world what it is!

(And Klaus is my boy, ok? Ok.)

I also managed to finish a review! Woo! XD

Check out all my February posts and all that jazz! :)

...this is weirdly specific. But also kind of a mood here on Dora Reads. I shall let this one pass like the magnanimous leader I am! 😅

  1. Ok months are always good! They’re much better than bad months at least. I have been having a lot of ok months too. I hope we both take it one step further to great months!

    1. OK months are acceptable! ;) Hopefully we'll manage some great months one of these days, but if not, we'll still be... well, ok! :) <3

  3. I'm glad that you could at least qualify February as being OK. I hope March is treating you even better. I've been enjoying watching Umbrella Academy too.
