There are certain times in life where we are faced with new beginnings, such as having to start all over again either in our careers, businesses, or even in a relationship. We start all over again not cause we actually want to but because we have no other choice, how do you cope with this? Recently it felt like i am pretty much starting all over again in every aspect of my life. I pretty much lost a friendship i considered valuable, things are pretty much slow with my business, like i have lost most of my customers and i am pretty much searching for new clients all over again, majority of the online gigs suddenly stopped working or paying. While i take this as a fresh start, there are times where i feel mentally drained, emotionally tired and then there are times i feel optimistic as they say, new beginnings comes with new opportunities.

Starting over again is always tough. I've been divorced twice and starting again both times was stressful and I wasn't happy... I kept thinking about good things coming my way and my daughter was part of that. I got full custody of her in the divorce from my 1st wife. (My daughter was 5 years old at the time and just fun to be around.) I kept planning trips to zoos and to amusement parks while getting divorced so there were always fun things to do. I don't know what I'd do if I had to start over at an older age. I hope things work out for you. Good luck!

Oh wow, it must have really been tough for you back then. Trust me not everyone would have been able to joggle all that all at once

@eLdav1s As long as I wasn't actually in court or trying to figure out how to pay the attorney fees, I just concentrated on keeping my daughter's mind off the divorce from her mom.

Starting over again will be hard but you are a positive person …..it will work out for you. Sometimes you are right, a new start in something isn’t always our choice …..in those times….we just have to get on with things !
