I am starting over at 31

Hello,

My name is Alex and I feel like my early twenties were waisted. Yes! I should’ve listened don’t rush to get into a relationship. Take your time! Get to know yourself! Your twenties are for you to discover who you are, etc, etc… Welp! Yes, I didn’t listen and I should’ve. I lost myself along the way, forgot who I was, and what I’ve wanted to do. I’ve let my relationship tell me who I was as oppose establishing who was and becoming. But, you know what ? I am ready to start over and eat again. Mouth full of food, laughing out loud with no care in the world. Read my magazine on the toilet, judge people who don’t like hot milk with their chocolate Rice Krispies.

I am not sure what you are going through. But believe me when I say, You are too amazing to let your light be dimmed by people, life events or your own self. 🩷 Go with the flow cause everything will fall into place. And pray!

... Read moreStarting over can be both daunting and liberating, especially at 31. Many individuals experience a turning point in their lives, feeling the weight of past decisions. It’s essential to recognize that taking time for self-discovery is vital. Embrace activities that bring joy and positivity, such as enjoying your favorite foods or pursuing hobbies that ignite passion. Life is about growth, and letting go of negative influences is crucial. Remember, it’s never too late to reset your path. Engage in self-reflection by journaling your thoughts or seeking mentorship. Surround yourself with supportive friends and family who encourage your journey. The key to personal growth often lies in adaptability and resilience. Embrace change as a natural part of life and maintain an optimistic outlook. Each day presents a new opportunity to embrace who you are and what you truly desire. Don’t forget to practice self-care and mindfulness. Activities such as meditation, exercise, and spending time in nature can help center your thoughts and foster a sense of well-being. Starting over isn’t merely about changing circumstances; it’s also about embracing a mindset that encourages personal growth and fulfillment.

🌀 Reset ≠ Starting Over
We’ve been conditioned to think of resetting as wiping the slate clean—as if we have to start from zero every time life feels heavy. But what if a reset isn’t about erasing? What if it’s about rebuilding with everything you’ve learned? ✨ You’re not starting over—you’re starting from experience.
