To The Girl Who Is Starting Over Again
To the girl packing up her life for the third time, and to the girl rewriting her résumé yet again, and to the girl who has lost count of how many times she has had to begin from scratch, God sees you.
Starting over can feel like the universe is mocking your effort, and it can feel like everyone else is moving forward while you are circling the same ground. It is frustrating, and it is exhausting, and it often raises the question of whether you are simply unlucky or somehow falling behind.
Yet beginning again does not mean failure, and it certainly does not mean weakness. It means you have the courage to refuse stagnation, and it means you care enough about your future to turn the page when the last one no longer serves you. It also means you are bold enough to rebuild even when the weight of disappointment tempts you to give up.
Yes, it feels messy, but it is not meaningless. Every fresh beginning carries the wisdom that the last ending gave you, and each new step strengthens you in ways you may not yet recognize. You know more now, so you will move differently. You love more carefully now, so you will guard your heart with greater wisdom. You trust more cautiously now, so you will choose with greater clarity. You are not at square one, for you are building with experience, and that changes everything.
So when the thought of starting over again makes you roll your eyes, remember that each restart is living proof of resilience. And remember that not everyone has the strength to rise again, but you do, and you will continue to rise because you carry a fire that cannot be extinguished.
To the girl who is starting over again, breathe deeply and stand tall. Do not shrink, and do not apologize for resetting. Step into this new chapter with confidence, for what feels like a setback today may be the very foundation you need for tomorrow. And even while the picture is still incomplete, trust that God is weaving your story with precision, and one day it will make perfect sense.
So begin again with strength, and begin again with grace, and begin again with boldness. For this is not the end of your story. This is another beginning, and beginnings are where beauty is born.
At NIÉ MAGAZINE, we believe every ending carries the seed of a beginning, and every beginning is proof that your story is still unfolding with divine purpose.
