Is it real? After years, how do I restart?

After like three or four years of completely forgetting anything about shifting I came across my old scripts and I was curious as to what it was of this community now, confidently believing that it'd be totally dead. Now I'm sure it's not, and it's made me believe (kinda) in shifting again. I'm feeling more and more motivated to start trying to shift again but I really need true facts and reassurance and advice. I forgot mostly everything about this, I think I lost my master script (which was more than 100 pages long) where I had all of the data. Is any of it real? If so, how do you do it? Or, how do you keep trying and not lose faith? What kind of things are we putting on our scripts these days? Do you still use the 'Lifa' app or is that just in the past? What methods do you guys use? Anything helps, thx!
