From endings that never really ended to beginnings that don't need to be perfect

Walked around the streets of this city that built everything whilst ripping apart something from within me. The streets hold me with the constant fear of running into endings that never really ended completely for me.
We're people who changed but the city hasn't, has it? With every turn I take and every place that I revisit the restless feeling of uncertainty and emotional wounds that haven’t healed entirely gushes in.
Ira: What if you stop re-reading this chapter again and again and start writing a new one? Abel: Haven't I already tried that? Ira: You're a writer Abel, you have to write more than just one draft before concluding on the beginning for a new chapter.
Abel: But what if I don't get the perfect beginning? Ira: You're never going to get the perfect beginning, that's the whole point. Its the twists and turns that give you a good story, not the beginnings.
Abel: So I start from scratch?
Ira: No, start again from wherever you are. Start writing again and this time,
just don't stop when you make a typo.
