Leilani is like a ray of sunshine… the kind that sneaks through the curtains whether you’re ready for it or not. She floats through life with easy smiles and spontaneous high fives, celebrating small victories like they’re headline news. Burnt the toast? “You tried!” Found a parking spot? “Champion behavior!” Her enthusiasm has very little ceiling. Strangers leave conversations with her standing a little taller than before. Her friends swear that being around Leilani is like having a personal cheerleader who never takes a day off and genuinely means it. It’s not that she doesn’t see the hard parts… she just insists on pointing out the light anyway.
