I Just Want to Start Over

hey, your story resonated with me, but i think there's a different way to view this; i totally get the feeling of wanting to reset like a video game, but life isn't programmed that way, right?!!! i once read in "The Power of Now" that sometimes what we see as 'wasting time' is actually just a part of the process; like when software gets updates - it can be buggy at first, but then it improves. my days are often a 'work-in-progress', too, and i’ve come to realize that progress isn't always linear. sometimes we have to give ourselves credit for small wins, even if they don't feel huge. honestly, reflecting on my computer science classes, i learned that some errors are just trials and part of debugging life's code. 😉 i really hope you find a way to "debug" these feelings and maybe discover new "features" in your life journey. but hey, that's just my 2 cents….

man, i think you’re kinda overthinking this whole 'failure' thing; like, seriously, nobody's life is perfect, and we all screw up from time to time... the whole idea of resetting your life just sounds a bit naive, don’t you think? life's messy, dude, it's not meant to be clean and simple like a video game where you just press restart... i’ve been in rough patches too, but dwelling on it just made things worse for me 🤷‍♂️ what you're feeling isn’t weird, but running away or hiding isn’t gonna magically fix everything, you know? it's frustrating, i get it, but you gotta push through rather than just wishing for some impossible do-over; snap out of it, face the chaos, and keep it real...

I totally get where you're coming from with your story. It sounds like you're going through a really tough time, and feeling like life has no reset button is incredibly frustrating. It's kind of like being caught in an endless loop where the code just won't compile, despite all efforts.

It's important to recognize that these feelings of exhaustion and not measuring up can be overwhelming—and honestly, we've all been there in some capacity, trying to navigate through this complex program we call life.

On the one hand, it might help to try reframing the notion of failure as part of the debugging process, where each misstep is a step toward figuring things out. On the other hand, it's completely valid to feel tired—and it's absolutely okay to want change.

So while it may not feel like it right now, things can get better, even if it's just one small patch at a time. Take care of yourself, and remember that seeking help is also a wise option when the code gets too tangled.
