What matters is that you do, and what happens is you know, we get, I'm not sure you know, or we hold ourselves back by worrying about all of that. And this is where space, giving yourself space, can be scary, Because you're kind of going okay, now this is the space I'm supposed to get fixed in, or whatever, I must be broken, or blah, blah, blah. Not at all.
