I was literally just thinking about Leah and how I wanted to post a story about her and then she texted me, so here I am.
I mostly wanted to write this because I'm really proud of her. I know that she's been through some shit and all that, but I can visibly see her getting better. She's trying and I'm so proud of her for that.
She said that she got a job because of me and honestly, I think it's helps a lot. I've also noticed that she checks the group chat and answers my texts more often. Yes, she quit her solo and ensamble, but I think that's a sign of growth, too.
I mean, the put in the effort to pick a song and at the time, even thought she was going to perform it, too. She took the time out of her week to first off, schedule a time to meet with me-which requires communicating-and staying on fast while I taught her the song. Plus, even her getting the courage to quit it I'm proud of.
It shows that she's slightly pushing herself out of that people pleaser mindset, or at least to the point where she's more comfortable. I believe that she's been gaining more of a good eating schedule, instead of reverting back to old habits and is keeping up with doing skincare and taking care of herself in general.
I've also noticed that she's been on Wattpad more. I don't know if she's been keeping up with ours, though, which is why I texted her beforehand.
I admire her commitment to things when she gets into them and I think that nobody realizes not only that she's really talented, but also that she's trying. I think she deserves more recognition for that. I don't think that people care enough to see what she's doing, which is why I'm trying to point it out more.
I know that she really likes physical touch, so on good days I will hug her or give her head pats or something-though, admittedly physical touch is kind of iffy for me-and on a bad day I'll just try to be nice or use my words to voice my contempt. I try to give compliments, but again, I'm not good at showing emotion so it usually comes out something like, 'you know Leah, you're really huggable.'
So, if she should take anything out of this, I'm proud of her and will try to continue to voice my pride and maybe my emotions if I get that far. Keep up the good work.
