A theory is begging to be tested under real world conditions. Keep an open mind about unexpected results. Your skin is thin, and your heart is soft. You could be easily startled by a figure of speech or a strange metaphor. Work in some way that will really make a difference.
People mean well, even when they express it in peculiar ways.
You're magnanimous and accepting of all things foreign. Love forges a very different kind of partnership somewhere in your neighborhood. Surrender brings relief. You don't have to give up all things, only those which are less useful right now. You may actually enjoy your chance to try again from the very beginning.
