Hey, guys! Leo

Hey, guys! Leo

Hey, guys! Leo here. 

Hi! I don't know if anyone has noticed, but I haven't been on the CB for a while. My schedule was full and I'm going through of phrase of insecurity about my posts and basically my life. Even when I did have spare time, I was so worried that I was going to say the wrong thing, that I didn't post anything at all. 

That's what I do irl too. I am so afraid of saying the wrong thing and having everybody look at me funny, so afraid that I barely talk at school. I'm okay with my close friends and family, but most of the time, I just don't talk. When I first joined the CB, it was great, but pretty soon I could feel myself slipping away from it as my schedule filled and my insecurity crept in. Eventually I had pretty much stopped posting all together. But I don't want that to happen! The CB is such a wonderful place and I don't want to lose it! So I'm coming back! Now that my schedule has cleared up, I'm gonna to try to get over my fears and what better place to do that than the CB. Everyone is so kind and wonderful here! So this is kinda my reintroduction thread! 

Hi, I'm Leo. I'm a Gryffindor and my Zodiac sign is a Leo. I love reading, drawing, writing, singing, dancing and skateboarding. I have two wonderful cats and I absolutely love musical threater! Some of my favorite musicals are Hamilton, Wicked, Dear Evan Hansen, and In the Heights. My dream is to write musicals and maybe even perform in them, if I can get over my stage fright! I also enjoy reading poetry, but I'm terrible at writing it. My favorite books are the Harry Potter series, the Young Wizards series, Fangirl, the Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus series and so many other books that I can not think of right now! But I think that's enough about me. 

So anyway, I'm coming back, gonna be more active. Thank you reading this thing. I'm excited to meet new CBers and old CBers and I'm excited to be a CBer. So, hi!

Hi Leo! I'm Esile. I'm a really new CBer, and I'm not sure if I've ever actually talked with you before, so HII!!!! Welcome back, I'm glad you're schedule is more open now!

Also, I totally understand about the insecurity thing. It took me about three years to work up the courage to post here. I never talk to anyone except my two best friends. Every time I try going to a new class or something, I have a panic attack. It sucks. You're not alone!

I'm a Virgo, but I think one of my friends is a Leo. Do you know your enneagram number? I'm a 3! That's really cool that you sing. I don't know much about singing, though my sister is an amazing singer and she's really really good at it. I really like Hamilton too! I've only ever listened to the sound track, but I love it so much! Percy Jackson! Yessssss! My favorite characters are Nico Di Angelo and Leo Valdez! What about you?

Again, welcome back! I hope to see you around!

Hi, Esile! Nice to meet you! And I agree, insecurity and panic attacks suck! I have panic attacks too sometimes and it feels better to know that you're not alone. So you're not alone! 

My enneargram number is 5. I love to sing, but I'm absolutely terrified to sing in front of people. I'm in chorus and we do perform, but it's in a large group so it's not too bad. It's cool that your sister sings!

It's nice to meet another Hamilton fan, Hamilfan?, and I've only listened to the soundtrack too, but I still love it and it's amazing! And yes! A fellow Percy Jackson fan! *high five* My favorite characters are Annabeth Chase and Leo Valdez! It's great to meet you!

Hi Leo. I'm a Leo too! (or maybe a Percy. Sorry, bad pun) I get how you have a lot of insecurity. I do to. I rarely talk at school, but am super chatty at home and with my close friends. The thing is, I don't notice that I don't talk. What I do is think every single minute. That way, you're not sure if you're talking or thinking. It helps a lot.

Hello Leo. I'm glad you decided to come back CB. I don't think I've ever talked to you either but I'm fairly new so I have an excuse. Anyway, welcome back.

Hi Leo! In case you don't already know my name is just spiffycat now, not Jithkeeper or anything.

You remember me, right?! I gave you that horrible picturing . .

Hi Leo, welcome back! Just know that you don't have to worry about saying the wrong thing with us- we're pretty judgment free here. :)

Oh, I'm a Hamilfan too! And I'll hopefully get Dear Evan Hansen tickets (my birthday's in a few days). I definitely couldn't write musicals (I've tried songwriting and my lyrics are pure trash) but I have thought about writing plays!

Welcome back, Leo! I'm not sure if we ever met, but it's great to meet you now! I'm a Hufflepuff and a Virgo, and love reading, writing, theater, Harry Potter, Hamilton, and nature. See you around!

It's so nice to meet/re-meet all of you!

Secret, it's nice to meet a fellow Leo (or a Percy! That made me laugh!)! I should try that thinking thing, maybe it'll work. 

Of course I remember you, spiffycat! And that picturing wasn't awful, it was really good! I really liked it. 

Soren Infinity, another Hamilfan and a Dear Evan Hansen fan too! :) I hope you get those tickets. I might be able to see Dear Evan Hansen this summer and I'm so excited!  

It's great to meet you, Spell Caster and Theatergirl (another Hamilfan, yay!)! And I remember Viola and Rogue, I gave you guys picturing, right? Ah, it's so great to be back! I look forward to seeing everybody around!

Just for the record I am a Taurus and Percy Jackson might be one of the best book series ever written. Harry Potter as well but that goes without saying.

Leo! *hugs* I'm so glad you're back! I'd wondered when you went. It's good to see you again!

I know exactly how you feel in regards to insecurity about posting, but just remember that nobody is going to judge you. We want to hear what you have to say! (That sounded kind of cheesy, but it's true!)

Anyway, welcome back!!
