not our usual type of episode, and more just a voicenote from me (hey, leo here) to you. definitely a little more emotional/vulnerable than i've been for a HOT minute now on the interwebs, so defo was overthinking even posting this (in fact my boyfriend strongly discouraged me from doing so lol).. in the end i thought it might be good to give you guys a snippet of my overthinking, hormonal brain just to be totally honest of what sometimes is going on in there. if you're feeling similar atm, i'm here & let's chat!! <333
