(((Velcro))) i have two bits advice from my life:
1. If there was something that you have been unable to say or do (as you said in your last line, "if you even can"), now is the time. The world wont end, i promise

it will just change and you will be like superman leaving krypton. It wont be home, but you will have superpowers. (So SD camt say she never understands me!)
2. Put some little things, changes in motion, then just hang on until they take effect. Like put blinders on until you feel more flexible from doing stretches.
