Syllable breakdown
Dictionary meaning
to move forward from a difficult, painful, or completed period into a new phase, leaving behind what has passed and beginning again with a fresh perspective; the reading metaphor of physically turning a page to reveal new text captures the decisive, irreversible quality of genuine new beginnings — one does not keep re-reading the same page but deliberately moves forward; turning the page implies both an acceptance of what has passed, including its difficulties and losses, and a willingness to engage fully with what comes next, without being held back by nostalgia, resentment, or grief for what is behind
