On Starting Over
It’s not easy to start over. You’ve invested the energy and time into something and you’re left facing the prospect that despite all that, it’s time to go in a different direction and start over.

By focusing on what I put into things, and not worrying about the expected outcomes, I’ve freed myself from what I have no control over. Starting over is daunting, but I’m embracing the journey and looking forward to it. I have no idea where it will go, but in many ways it doesn’t matter.
