    This world needs more Leah's. They are a walking, talking lesson to us all. Physically, they present themselves different to the status quo. I wouldn't be surprised if they are judged based off of their haircut, or their clothing. Perhaps people are scared of the different. However, it only takes a minute of hearing Leah to know that she radiates a care, compassion, understanding, and reflection that we are all in such dire need of. I hope that we can all be inspired by them. The strength as well to go through what they've gone through, and then rise to where we see them now. Inspiring.

    Leah is the kind of person I'd fall for. Not because I'm gay but because they have walked through the fire and came out the other side not burned but burnished to a sheen. I walked through my own fire and survived. I love those people so much they're so strong.

    This conversation was incredibly lovely. I think they both maybe needed to hear what the other one had to say--if they don't end up together in whatever capacity, it will be a meeting that will have helped them grow more into a better version of themselves. I am happy for them. (also omg they are both SO cute)
    Also, Gresida gives me Natalie Portman vibes--her looks, her smile, and her voice.

    I dunno how relevant this feedback is here, but could you please align the names in the title with the people on the screen? Like 'Leah & Gresida' since Leah is on the left? Not that the names are THAT important, but it might be a good idea for people who missed the names at the beginning. Thanks!

    • @mertcan5145
      @mertcan5145 4 года назад +2

      @@Whimswirl It is strange that I missed that explanation given that I have been following them for at least 4 years. I remember that not being the case (I remember seeing videos in which the names matched the people) and tried to go through the old videos. It is, indeed like you said, other way around for almost all of the videos, but here is one that I could find: ruclips.net/video/E1qSCYsns6c/видео.html
      It feels like I'm knitpicking here, but yeah, I see your point and i'll keep that in mind for future videos. Thanks!

    @juj.7648 4 года назад +2

    Hmm I have to disagree with Leah @12:00. --- Mental Health issue is a serious issue and does warrant "heads-up/warning" (depending on what it is ) -- I dont know what kind of Mental health issue she has but I personally know someone who is a schizophrenic and his partner suffered a LOT being with this guy, to a point where she feared for her life -- That is NOT fair for her to deal with. Also know someone who is bi-polar and medically narcissistic personality --- Again, extremely difficult to deal/live with. So, Leah - I'm sorry you're going thru mental health issues but it should be "warned" about.

    • @juj.7648
      @juj.7648 3 года назад

      ​@Empress Ella -Bella You should re-read my original post and see if your reply was relevant because it isn't. It was not to minimize the seriousness of mental health issues and the people who are suffering from it -- It was for the people who are entering relationships with people who have serious mental illnesses -- which could be potentially be dangerous to them both mentally as well as physically. Of course I dont think it is a choice. What kind of question is that!? So are you saying that the partners don't deserve some transparency when entering a serious relationship?? --
      What if you were dating someone whose HIV positive or carrier of some serious STD? Dont you think it's fair that they should let you know about it before going too far and having sexual relations?? It's not about stereotyping, its about being FAIR and let THEM be the judge whether they love each other enough to continue the relationship --- There are people who who still make it work despite incurable physical or mental illness -- but the partner deserves to know the truth and make that decision. Or are you trying to say that the HIV positive person should hide it as long as they can, continue having sex with the partner?? This isn't much different from someone who has mental illness -- they didn't CHOOSE to become HIV positive and with the right treatment, they can get it to be undetectable and make it work but without right treatment it can also be something that is dangerous -- You really dont think its only fair that they should be transparent about their conditions (either mental or physical illness) with their partners?? And What makes you think that I'm basing this off on ONE person's story?

    • @juj.7648
      @juj.7648 3 года назад

      @Empress Ella -Bella On top of my previous comment -- I never said that you need to put a tattoo on your forehead and let the WHOLE WORLD know about the condition -- but we are talking about someone that you are entering a relationship with, potentially long term and serious relationship -- they deserve to know about it and given the chance to make the decision for themselves if its something they are prepare to enter or not. If you still dont think this is fair, then you are a selfish person. It has nothing to do with judging or minimizing the seriousness of mental illness, so i've no idea why you even brought that up, asking me if I think its a choice or not, also telling me that it is equivalent to RACISM (!?) what the hell?
