that's right, nobody can solve problems for someone else, but human willpower is the strongest power we have.

write a resumee for yourself, pros and cons of your life back then and now and boil things down. let your heart flow. as soon as you recognize which things are bothering you (which, why, how) you've have made the first step. this is emotional work, too.

compare this to your current dreams. logical and emotional comparisons.

do some brainstorming while you do the comparison, write down everything even if it might seem out of reach. many things aren't, one maybe has just chosen the wrong path to the goal before. let your ideas run wild and write them down.

things will become much clearer then. you are ready to plan what will be good for you and what to avoid in the future. develop a few plans read like "if plan a doesn't work, i'll try plan b and then plan c". this is some brainwork.

you have to understand your needs and wishes first before you go change something. stay strong now, then you'll be able to afford being weak later without being endangered. i'll be thinking of you.
