You need that second voice to just tell... just go for it, that's the scariest thing ever... it's a strange evolution you have these little moments with people and I remember that chat because you messaged me 'I don't think I can keep doing this' or 'I want to go online'... I was more than happy to park it at that point and I was more than happy to do so
