Please know that nobody needs to fix anyone. Another person, they can be beautiful support, but that other person is not going to fix you because there's nothing to fix, and they can't do that. They can't do that for another person. Nobody can. Nobody can. So instead of being like, oh, what do I need to do next? It's more about What actually feels good to do now? What feels good? What do I feel like I want to do? Yeah? And if the answer is, I feel like I want to go for a walk, there you go, you've got the answer. If you just want to sit with a drink, there you go. If you want to watch silly videos, my mum keeps sending me so many funny videos. She sent me a video of people skipping, you know, it was so funny. It's amazing to see how different different people's skips can be, and it was like a range of people of all different ages, men, women, they were just so funny watching these people skip.
