To reinvent yourself, I think, is overrated. To reinvent yourself implies that you have a new start in everything. The slate is completely clean. What bothers me about this concept is nothing good is retained. Is there nothing about you worth saving? Every person has a unique thing about them that makes them different. This should be preserved. I propose, instead of reinventing oneself, adapt and change. To change in parts would help you change the bad parts and mold them into parts that are more acceptable to yourself. Why throw out the entire fruit when you can cut out the bad spots?
