Not everything in life turns out the way we planned. There may be times where we need to move on, rethink decisions, close some chapters, and take another direction altogether. But there will always be questions, perhaps from those around us, about what we are trying to say.
It is important to remember that not every choice requires an extensive explanation. It could just be that at that moment, we come to realisation that we are making the wrong decision. Perhaps we lack answers, but that does not make us fail.
It simply means that we are moving on.It is always going to be uncomfortable starting over because of the way others know our history in making certain choices.
There are worries about how they will perceive us and if they will accept us as we are now. However, our life cannot revolve around what others think of us.
Things evolve, people evolve, and some changes need to be made. It is not a matter of validating whether or not our new beginning is going to be the best. We just have to assume responsibility and give ourselves a break.
There is no need to ask permission from everybody in order to begin anew. Sometimes, it just requires being honest about our choices and having patience.
