Scared, but not to that degree.

After my divorce, after a hellish marriage, I knew I needed to get back with my ex like I needed a hole in the head. Nevertheless, I've missed being married, in and of itself. Marriage is a great anchor, and I've felt like a migrant ever since.

No. I've picked up and moved several times. Usually it was because I needed a new chalange. When my job stopped teaching me anything new it was time to move.

We start over many times throughout a life time,

Each substantial change of perspective is a new beginning Religion, relationship,address or country each brings it own challenges and blessings

Been there and done that quite a few times!!! Some people accuse me of self destruction just so I can experience the uncertainty and fun of starting over 😉

Change is rarely easy and often disconcerting.

Yes, but the other options aren't great, are they?

Hell no. I start over all of the time. Nothing will defeat me except the grim reaper.

Just look at it as another opportunity to reinvent yourself! Think positive, have fun...

Nothing worthwhile is easy.

I met Dan, fell in love and I'm starting all over again outside Albany,NY where I lived 35 years ago. Neither one of us are scared; we've yet to have a disagreement nor an argument.

I’ve started over many times, most drastically. I was in financial services as a mortgage broker, realtor, securities dealer and just for good measure I was licensed for life health and variable annuity and through notary just to top it off. Wasn’t happy so when I found out that my wife had a boyfriend I stopped getting haircuts, got a tattoo and a divorce and took a year off before taking a job in a music store. It was not scary perhaps because it felt like it was the best path forward (mentally) and I never looked back. I never want to do a job I hate just because the money is better... I left the rat race!

I think the unknown is a pretty scary place for everyone. Life does go on however, so just take it day by day.

Not really, I have done it many times before. It is daunting, and I may not want to do it, but fear is not the problem

Life is full of start overs. Humans started over leaving Africa many times. Start over.

Pam...
You're not starting over... you're moving on. There is no "start over" button. At 49 you're at "halftime".
2 more quarters to play!!!!

Not scared. Just wish the right person would come along so I can stop this dance. It was fun in the twenties thirties and forties it's not fun now.

Starting over for me, there are around 7 billion people on this planet, half of them are of the opposite gender, that other half is dateable in my eyes, maybe not everyone but that's 3 and a half billion females in my case. Somewhere out there is a mate for me exists! Never give up the search someone is out there waiting for you to show up in there life and you will know when they come along!
