The weight of starting all over

Starting over feel like a heavy burden. Whether it’s switching careers, coping with a personal setback, or facing a significant life change, the idea of restarting everything seem overwhelming.

"Feeling anxious or even defeated is completely natural."

Accepting these feelings is crucial; it allows me to process rather than push them aside. I am so sad and sore inside, I felt so torn every single day.

(How did this happened to me?)

Enrolling into a diploma course was a personal setback.

I didn't know I needed to go through a phone interview first.

When I was asked to introduce myself and why I am interested in this course, I answered his question sincerely.

I wanted to give up trying in between as I felt inferior to his honest doubts on me.

But I tried to gather my thoughts, I needed him to give me an opportunity to start the next chapter of my life.

I understand that I should have share more after the call ended.

The road ahead will be tough, yet with each step, I hope I am moving closer to the life I envision.
