Leigh /inactive/

Hello Everyone!
My name is Leigh, but here most people know me as Leah. It's a name that no longer seems to fit. 
This website played a big part in my life several years ago. I was depressed. I only wanted to read and write. Here I found friends. KC. Nadia. Ari. Chey. Mid. Omar. These people saved me. Truly. I was in such a bad place before I met you guys. I don't know how well I ever expressed it, but I owe you all so much. I tried to be there for you guys too, but I'm afraid I'm not good at being friends. Surprise! I have crippling social anxiety and am terrified of everyone, even the people I'm most comfortable with. The biggest thing I learned in my time on this website was that I owe it to myself to be happy, or at least to be ok. In at least one case, that decision to choose my own happiness (or ok-ness) meant the sadness of a dear friend. And if you ever see this please know that I am so sorry for hurting you. I couldn't do it anymore. 
I'm going to take down my stories. I'm still writing them, but they need so much work. I may return someday, but I doubt it. I'll check in every once in a while, but for the most part this account is inactive. It has been for years. 
So 
Goodbye Wattpad


This account was made on November 2nd in remembrance of a classmate who committed suicide on that day in 2012. His mother got drunk and abused him, and that was the cause of his death, not the bullying that they passed it off as. There will always be a memory of you, as long as I'm alive. 
 RIP N.G. 1997-Nov.2 2011.
