One of the leaves on my monstera is not happy but the rest of the plant is completely normal (with some lasting damage from a previous pest infestation) anyone have any idea why?  
PLEASE HELP I’m still not used to owning a monstera

It may just be that that specific leaf Isnt getting sun like the rest, several of my plants that I don’t rotate will drop leaves when it’s no longer helpful to them, I would say as long as the rest of the plant continues to be healthy everything is probably fine!
