This morning, sitting on the couch with my coffee in hand, a quiet thought settled into my mind: What does it really mean to relearn something? What is relearning—at its core?
It’s easy to assume we’ve got things figured out, especially when we’ve lived through something before. Love, perspective, self-worth, identity—these feel like things we should know by now. And yet, life has a way of showing us that knowing something once doesn’t mean we’ve mastered it forever.
Looking back over the last few years—honestly, even further back into my childhood and adolescence—I can now see so many moments where I thought I understood it all. Based on my upbringing and personal experiences, I had a solid sense of what was right, what worked, and what didn’t. But with time and growth, my perspective has shifted.
Relearning, I’ve come to realize, is not a step backward. It’s not a sign of failure. It’s a sign of evolution.
To relearn is to grow.
To grow is to mature.
To mature is to wake up—to become more aware, more intentional, more alive.
Whether it’s relearning how to love, how to think, how to see yourself and the world, or simply rediscovering what truly matters—it’s all part of the journey. And just because you’ve relearned something once doesn’t mean the learning ends there. Life will revisit those lessons through new experiences, new seasons, and new eyes.
So today, I’m embracing the idea that relearning is a gift. It’s an invitation to see familiar things in unfamiliar ways. It’s a gentle reminder that wisdom isn’t in knowing everything—it’s in staying open to knowing more.
