The Starting Over Man

 

Symbol: The Reignition Mark
Two mirrored sparks or flames—side by side or crossing paths.
He’s not beginning from nothing. He’s beginning from depth.

​​

​

You’ve been through something.
A loss. A divorce. A collapse. A reckoning.
Something you thought would last… didn’t.
And now you’re here—
not at the beginning,
but at the threshold.

​

This isn’t about starting over from scratch.
This is about starting over with truth.

​

You’ve seen yourself in silence.
You’ve sat with your regrets.
You’ve held your own heart in your hands and asked,
“What do I want now?”

​

You’re not looking for a distraction.
You’re not looking for redemption.
You’re looking for real.
For something built slow.
Built true.
Built to hold both the beauty and the burn.

​

You don’t have to rush.
You don’t have to pretend.
You get to enter this new chapter with a deeper center—and a steadier flame.

​

You are not behind.
You are not too late.
You are not damaged goods.

​

You are reigniting.
And the next time you burn for something,
it’s going to be mutual—and real.
