I've been here for years, and It's so amazing to see you growing as a person and chasing after your dreams. Anyways, Happy Birthday!

18:31 I saw this quote and realized that you kept your misspellings (in the entries) the way they were. Errors really are more than setbacks, they add more depth to us. I wish I realized that sooner.

i never saw somebody doing something like that and i absolutly love it!! hope you're gonna make similar video someday. the aura that you're having is very calming and inspirational, have a good day!!

Happy birthday Leah! 🎊

“Im not on this earth to fit in” God that really resonated with me and hit me so hard. Your second entry described almost all of my feelings lately. I’m so glad I found your channel.

i just love this. i love this video amd i love seeing you grow out of your comfort zone and those kinds of videos inspire me and im sure many others to create and be honest and sincere. thank you

I really enjoyed this video! Thanks for sharing ❤

1) sadists hide their pleasure. 2) same. 3) never be ugly back - it’s a trap. leaving is best. 5) love is everything. 6) boundaries are crucial. 8?) you don’t have your dream life yet. 9) Jung is genius. 10) a 9-5 would be a waste. 3) LA is over. 4) good advice, thx. 5) i burn my journals too. 6) nature travel is the future. 22) beauty NEEDS protectors, you must admit it to be safe. you are not a fighter, that’s ok. 23) so much resonated that i got afraid. but then i stopped caring, can’t say why

This is my favorite video of all! Your love of journaling really shows. It’s fun to watch this video and see the energy you gain from the entries and how you relate to other books & writings. Just energizing and inspiring! Keep up the good work, it’s amazing!!

Happy Birthday Leah 🎂 Thank you for sharing some of your personal thoughts with us.

Happy Birthday.

When I was in NY, all I could think about was how much I hated the place. Can't think of one thing I enjoyed about the place other than some of the food.

UR BIRTHDAY IS 1 DAY AFTER MY BIRTHDAY YIPEE

23 huh? so young. so many future adventures Being a Graphology Fan i sense if we ever met we can talk about such ...errr science? i shall call it that might not be Happy birthday and do enjoy your day that goes without saying I journal for two purposes. when i am upset its a great way to put down all that mental baggage into paper and if something happens to me *knock on wood* my family or friends can have a part of me to be honest i want a graphology to ready my journal. the ups and downs and most especially what i dont know about my self thru my writing

Happy Birthday Leah. That was a very interesting dive into your personal experience and thoughts. I learnt from another video what being an introvert and what being an extrovert is (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bd6IdLV8ppmzj4U.html). And honestly, after seeing this video, a lot makes sense. We're humans with multiple layers, we're not black and white and have only this side or that side. We have overlappings with one another. The "introvert-extrovert" or unknown part people tend to forget about has been named >ambivert< for a long time ago already. (my autism likes to correctly term things.) You seem to have a thing that also goes in the direction for extroverts, like how you pick up outside signals. An introvert doesn't care what others think about themself, since they have their own world to tend to. They couldn't care less what others opinion are. An extrovert on the other hand cares what people think about themselves and might try to change themself after others opinion. They live in a world surrounded with others. Both are extreme examples, yes. And as soon as we step away a bit from those 2 extremes, it's not anymore the >introvert< or the >extrovertevil< and the >good< doesn't exist for everyone either, and this is why these 2 extremes shouldn't exist in everyone else either. I don't know if you want to label yourself as an introvert continuing forward, it's ok to do this, I'm just here to tell you, that extroverts or people close to extroverts also suffer from social interactions. Label whatever you want, but there are times when it's healthier to put the labels away. The beginning of your video reminded me of my child age. (1:41) Like you read in the previous paragraph block, I have autism. I grew up "weirder" than everyone else. No one understood me, no one tried to get close to me and if they did, they prolly spread gossip about me or left me afterwards. (I found good friends now, no worries.) My villain arc was nearly my whole life long. It destroyed me a lot. I never fit in anywhere and when I brought a suggestion, it wasn't good enough. In elementary school there was a boy, he was written like a anime shounen hero and I was the villain (looking back at it in retrospective). I was not liked for who i am and only seen as existing. I was often sick. But not as sick as the other boy. I might be petty, bc he had failed kidneys and still kept a positive attitude (he is still alive and better kidneys). Meanwhile I was depressed, constantly sick and no one believed how sick I was (bc visiting him in the hospital was better than visiting me in the hospital). Such hypocrisy can break a 8 year old's mind silently, and harshly. Now after so many years of fighting seemingly alone and rejecting help, I came to a broken point of not caring at all. However, I like to help others (to the point I become a nuisance, sorry). My nature of helping others is normal to me. Because of how I am, I noticed at today's time that people told me "so, you're just kind" or "no one really does it anymore. thank you". Even tho while I was in the act of being egoistic. Times have changed, people notice my true nature. Just because of who I am and not because of what society wants us to be. And I think, you noticed it in your life as well: 6:47 - 6:55 . Although those things are smaller and seemingly less significant than your strenuous life, it's still a great feeling to achieve something like this, no? Who cares about lip service when people say "blah blah mountain and behind there is sth good blah blah" or however it goes. What matters is to appreciate the small fun and lovely things at this point. This comes from a perspective of a burnt out person who isn't loved by society and therefore just acts however they want. And now I'm getting rewarded for who I am from time to time. I couldn't ask for a better reward (aside money and things that are unreachable, lmao), than little things that still keep me going like this.

Makeup routine? ^U^

23? I thought you are around 30. You look way more mature.

Being real would hopefully include ditching most of the make up as you have nothing you need to make up for. Your are a beautiful young woman. Go through life as you really are and quit wasting your money on an industry that insults women this way. .
