Should I Start Over?
There's a difference between running from your life and finally choosing a different one. The oracle helps you tell which this is — and whether 'starting over' is escape, or the most honest thing you've done in years.
Get your verdict →Questions to ask yourself
- Are you starting over, or just relocating the same problems?
- What specifically would be different — and what would you bring with you unchanged?
- Is this a decision, or a reaction to a bad season?
- What are you hoping a fresh start will let you stop feeling?
- If you couldn't tell anyone you'd done it, would you still want to?
The signs you already decided
When the life you built no longer fits the person you've become, when maintaining it takes more than living it gives back — the urge to start over may be growth, not failure. But geography can't outrun what you haven't faced.
What people get wrong
People burn it all down to avoid the harder work of changing one thing at a time. A true fresh start usually begins with an honest inventory — not a clean slate, but a clear one.

Is it too late to start over?
It's almost never as late as it feels. The years you'd 'waste' starting now will pass either way — the only question is whether you'll have moved or just waited.
How do I know if starting over is the right move?
If you're moving toward a clear vision and willing to carry the lessons (not just the wreckage), it's a fresh start. If you're only fleeing, you'll meet the same problems at the new address.
