Deep breath....most brake/shifter levers can be adjusted to accommodate a shorter reach. Did you call the shop and ask if they can walk you through the adjustment over the phone? Or have you pulled up the manual for the shifters online to see if there are instructions?
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
