I don’t remember why I came in here
Do you know the feeling of walking into a room only to wonder, “why did I come in here?” You had a purpose, but now you can’t recall exactly what it was.
Now have you ever felt that way about something greater: like taking a job, or moving away from home, or entering a relationship? You remember there was intention behind your decision, but you can’t pinpoint the thoughts that led you there.
I know I have.
We grow and change over time. Sometimes we can’t even recognize our past selves. When we can’t remember the reasons that brought us to the present moment, maybe there is no shame in starting over.
