Restarbooting?
"Restart" is a strong word, indeed,
and as such, it can't be applied.
I'm not starting my life all over,
as past experiences can't be denied.
-*-
"Reboot" is another word even stronger,
implying deleting any wrongdoing.
But those fun mistakes gave me my wisdom,
and wisdom is used for experience accruing.
-*-
I'm just varying the path to follow,
switching my run to a different lane.
How can I call it when all I am doing
is taking my hiking to a novel terrain?
-*-
I'm staying connected but somehow away,
I'm cleaning my mind without forgetting.
Starting refreshed adventures and more,
Starting anew, but without regretting.
-*-
Maybe I need to create a new word,
maybe I'll call it a simple "Restartbooting".
You can't deny it, this has some rhythm,
and gives you some options that can't be refuted.
-*-
So, I am ready: let's do this new me!
Let's reboot without any deletion.
Let's walk on a different adventurous track
Let's stay deep in focus until full completion!

This is so charming and clever—totally relatable for anyone who’s ever wanted a fresh start without erasing their past.✨
