Everyone should embark upon a reinvention of themselves at some time in their lives. I think the world would be a much better place.
A lot of the unhappy people in the world are merely upset with themselves that they didn’t step out, achieve anything, change themselves, or learn something about the world they live in.
With some of us, it’s a slow work – in – progress.
Have I personally achieved everything that I’ve ever wanted? That would be a “no”.
Do I feel like I’m moving in the right direction? Sometimes. Some times faster or more slowly than others.
Getting older means redefining yourself, (hopefully) figuring out who you want to be – and being that person.
With all that said, I was thinking the other day about those “reinvention” type stories. Guy moves on from high school…..re-invents himself as a different person in college…….girl moves to a different town……..re-invents herself as a different person.
I was wondering if that one was one of the reasons why my father took me to tour all those colleges that were out-of-town. Maybe in some small way.
We did discuss it one time, but I never got an exact reason as to why I was going anywhere at all.
Should have just stayed in town, and gone to U of H. Although, of course, my life would be completely different than it is now.
Like “Back to the Future”…..
