I think everyone starts over more then once. We are never who we think we want to be and never who we intended to be on the first try. We lose someone important to us and we think it is a wake up call to find out who we really want to be. We lose a job and realize that maybe this was suppose to happen so we could follow our dreams. We graduate college and find out it is time to make something of all that time spent learning. Whatever the reason, we start over a great many times in our single lifetime. We create new lives, different lives and some of them are the ones we are meant to live. Sometimes others are just trial runs till we get to start over.
And then sometimes there are those rare occasions when we have started over without even realizing it and have become the people we were always meant to be without knowing it was who we wanted to be. I've started over more times then I can count and even once was almost certain I was becoming exactly who I had always wanted to be and was meant to be. I've also had a few failed attempts at being who I thought I should have been just because it was who others wanted me to be. Hence the failed part of the attempt.
So here I am... being me... again... and again. This time I think I am getting it right. And the best part of getting it right this time is even if I'm not I have never been happier. But I will tell you about that next time.
