let's bake a cake and talk about love

[@rebelle5196]

dear leah, you are the biggest critic of yourself...while you are the most perfect as you are! you do not have to achieve anything to love yourself.

[@leahmegan]

thank you for this lovely reminder. you're right!! it feels like I am always in a battle with myself to figure out whether I deserve love or not, but really the answer should always be: yes, I do deserve love

[@b1g5pender]

i struggle with opening up to people too, and feel like i’m burdening them if i do. we often underestimate how much the people around us can handle, and at the end of the day we are social creatures, we’re meant to uplift and support each other. the right people will do that for you, you have to trust that :)

[@leahmegan]

you are so right 🤎 opening up was always hard for me, but then I realised I can very easily talk to a camera and express everything exactly how I mean it. you don't even have to upload it anywhere, I think keeping a video diary just for you can be equally as beneficial! maybe that's an idea for you to try, for when you are feeling a bit alone

[@b1g5pender]

@@leahmegan i love that idea, i already journal but i think a video diary would be even more comforting. thank you and take care

[@mariecurie1785]

oh, it turned out to be a really lovely cake even though you have one whisk :) i totally understand what you say about self-love. it is a never easy thing to love yourself . what we all need to do is love ourselves without giving reasons, we just need to love ourselves accepting who we are. i hope the therapy will help you on your self-love process. i will make myself a cake too.

[@alia57832]

leah we’ve missed you so much💗💗 take as much break as you need and we’re always gonna be here for you. i love you :(

[@leahmegan]

[@sophiaisabelle027]

We wish you well. Just know we will support you no matter what.

[@leahmegan]

thank you Sophia 🧡

[@squidward9]

thank you for sharing how you feel even if you think it didn't make sense. and to me, it made a lot of sense, you just said exactly the same thing i've been going through emotionally myself, and so i can agree, it is strangely difficult to feel deserving of love from others and yourself sometimes. i too have kept myself away from other people, like a lot more than i should, and you perfectly put into words the reasons i do that. i also isolate myself sometimes just subconsciously, and i really want to change that now. it's no way to live, to be hard on yourself, i've learned that the hard way. i'm not as happy being totally alone as i am when i feel genuinely connected to people. and same thing here, i went from being an overachiever-cared-a-lot type of person to struggling so much to care about stuff. still figuring out how to manage that, honestly. so, i totally hear you, leah, and thanks again for helping someone like me feel like there's someone out there who feels the same way i do. i hope ur doing well, sending you so much love!

[@poppycalliope]

Baking a delicious cake for yourself is such a sweet way to practice self love ❤ you're doing your best Leah , sending you love 💌

[@leahmegan]

it definitely is, reminds me to take things slow and how great simple things can really make you feel. I used to bake a lot, and am now getting back into it again (: I'm not like, amazing, or anything, but maybe that's why it feels so good - just doing something because it's fun and not having any pressure for how it turns out (even burnt cake tastes good underneath) much love to you too poppy, thank you for always being here

[@yesomrich]

thank you for this video! it reminded me that it's okay not to be happy every single moment of life

[@jemmaxx3706]

Even times when you are resting, reading, going on walks etc are valuable, I definitely need to take my own advice but life is not just about achieving things and I’m sure that you taking some downtime is very well deserved after a difficult year of studying. Sending lots of love! 💗

[@leahmegan]

of course, I think we can always be learning, even when it seems like we aren't doing an awful lot ! I hope you always find the time to listen to your mind & body and find some peace in these busy days 🤎🤎🤎

[@chuucake]

i love you, leah ♡ you are so loved and appreciated

[@grac3-through-faith]

the Janes Patisserie cookbook is amazing! baking is a great form of self care

[@leahmegan]

it is!! my mum was always going on about it, but I've never really taken the time to read it. I'm currently baking twice a week, one cake for my grandparents and something for the nurses at the nearby hospital (my sister is a nurse, so I listen to her requests and deliver when she has a night shift hehe). this week is brownies and coffee cake (: baking is good because it keeps your brain busy, your hands busy, isn't tooooo expensive (once you have everything you need, like a one-legged whisk) and the cost of ingredients is easily balanced out by the way giving a gift makes you feel !!!! I will definitely keep at it

[@rebeccagreen372]

Felt this so deeply! Hope you're doing well. Means a lot to me that people out there understand how I feel and I hope this does the same for you too x

[@leahmegan]

thank you Rebecca

[@theisaiah_james]

Hope you feel better. Sending so much love

[@leahmegan]

I feel much better these days, thank you Isaiah

[@milis2002]

Leah! ❤ I’m happy you taking care of yourself the best way you can, we see you and we care about you! Do anything you need to do to keep loving and taking care of yourself

[@leahmegan]

hi Emilia !!! thank you for your love . I feel undeserving (of course ehehe) but appreciate it so much. trying my best to keep doing what I love and grow as a person !!!

[@elisa2205]

hi leah! I loved this video and i just wanted to say that you are definitely not alone in this 💗

[@leahmegan]

🤎 thank you

[@janedou2190]

I'm so happy that you seem like having a good condition now!! Summer is a time for rest and enjoy the sunshine, the wind, there's nothing more important in life than these natural things, I think. Just try our best to enjoy the beauty that the nature give us. I wish u the best!! love u so much!!

[@leahmegan]

I agree, whenever things start to feel bad - I always find that sitting in the garden for a little while with the birds is what helps me and brings me back to earth !! I also love listening to music by Mac miller, it feels so calming hehe. baking, reading, watching shitty tv and watering the plants are my current go-to hobbies. I deleted social media from my phone, so I am feeling quite detached from that now and seem to have much more time in the day. I'm hoping to improve my editing skills and actually put it into practice (since I have enough time to actually edit things in detail now!!) thank you for being here . I wish you the best also and send lots of love your way ~~~~~~~

[@janedou2190]

@leah megan hey, leah! I tried what u said thesedays. When I began to sense that things gonna get bad, I just stop what Im doing and go to the forest to feel the nature and read books. Forgive my poor English haha, I feel so comfortable in front of u and I don't wanna use a translator. You are like a old good friend of me, you are great strength that supports me when I'm sad. I hope you are getting better and better now!!

[@yomnaal5409]

Once, someone said to me, "You have built all these castles and fortresses around you, and the moment someone tries to get close to you, you shoot arrows at them and push them away from you." That was right. _i just remembered that, and i am the same as u, still trying. And it's gonna be okay!

[@leahmegan]

thank you for sharing. of course, it will all be okay in the end
