Takeaways

  • Starting over can be scary but it can be rewarding just for the new experience you gain from it.
  • Fresh starts can reinvigorate us and break up old patterns
  • Sometimes small changes are enough to open up new doors 
  • Desires of the life we want can keep us going.  It doesn’t matter when it happens as long as you take steps toward it and enjoy the process.
  • Sometimes wanting something so much, you get tunnel vision, focusing on only one way to get the thing. Trust that it will come, no matter the fashion or direction.
  • By trusting the process and letting things unfold naturally, things will naturally click for you. “If it’s meant to be, it’ll be for me, and it’ll happen easy.”
  • Reinventing yourself is exciting and a rich way to live life. Even trying new foods and going to new places can be small “reinventing yourself” steps. 
  • Don’t be afraid to try new things because of other people’s limitations. Think about it this way: other people have come up with rules about a certain thing based on their failures, biases, or limitations. If your old friends and job don’t fit anymore, it’s okay to move on; make new friends.
  • It’s not your place to wrong anybody else for who they choose to be. Teenagers particularly like to change their identities, and it’s natural.
  • Let your friends reinvent themselves too; if you don’t like it, then you can move apart. If you want to be supportive and get used to the new them, do what you can for them. Midlife crises or coming out can be examples of this.
