Reinvention

I’ve been thinking about reinvention a lot lately. Maybe it’s the reflection that comes with the new year. Maybe it’s because I know that I’m going to be starting a new job in a new city soon. Either way, the opportunity to “reinvent” myself is rapidly approaching.

I’m not sure if it’s an opportunity that I even want o take. I’m damn near 30 years old. At this point, I’m basically the person that I’m going to be. Plus, I like myself. I know that I’m not perfect. What I do know is that I’m funny (usually when I’m not trying to be), a good friend, and a pretty decent coworker.

The more that I think about it, the more convinced I am that reinvention is something that you have to find completely and totally necessary for it to work. I mean..you’d have to be extremely dedicated to this transformation.That’s something that I just can’t fathom. How do you completely change the essence of who you are? How do you change the way that you think/act/speak? And most importantly, why would you want to?
