Starting over.

I feel the past year of my life has been a re-do. That nothing I had done in the past was ever good enough or right, so this year I was making up for all the wrong that I had done and was trying to start my life over again.

And now, I'm having to start over again. Completely pull a "re-do". I attempted it wrong the first time, and now I have to pull a card out of my back pocket that says, Go back to the beginning.

Does starting over actually work? What exactly does it entail? Can you even start over? I've been told time and time again, that you can never start over, what's done is done, and what happened in the past can never be erased. You have to dig your way out of the hole that you dug, dust off your knees, and start again that way. I've never tried looking into that hole that I dug, and start filling it back up.

WordWeb online describes starting over as making a fresh start from the beginning or wiping the slate clean.

Well...okay.
