Rewriting Isn’t Starting Over

I used to think changing directions meant I had failed.

Like I wasted time.
Like I should’ve known better.
Like I was behind.

But I wasn’t behind—I was just becoming conscious.

Starting over is the language of shame.
Rewriting is the language of evolution.

When you know better, your path shifts. That’s not regression. That’s re-alignment.

Closure Insight:
You’re not starting over. You’re starting from awareness.
