“When everything was said to be over, I could only see a chance to start afresh.”

by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe — from Vicissitudes of Life, chapter 4

In other words

An ending can look complete from the outside. Plans have failed, familiar parts of life are gone, and other people may see only the proof that everything is over. From inside the same moment, another meaning can appear. With the old path closed, there is room to ask what should be built next and what the loss has made clear. Starting again is not a denial of what ended. It is a different use of the space left behind.

The chance does not erase pain or restore what was lost. It turns attention toward the life that can still be made. What others call the end may become the first open ground for a wiser beginning.
