When You're Trying to Start Over
Starting over can feel both hopeful and heavy at the same time. You might be stepping into something new after a breakup, a loss, a big life change, or a chapter that no longer felt right. Even when a fresh start is what you want, it can still feel unfamiliar, emotional, or overwhelming. It’s okay if you don’t have everything figured out yet. New beginnings don’t have to be perfect to be meaningful.
