Having the chance to reinvent myself, I probably would not. The challenges that we are all faced with happen to us for a reason. Through all the issues I go through only made me a stronger person and starting over, I think would just make it worse. There are those days that everyone wants to do over; however, I would not want to redo me! I enjoy my life and the people that are in it. It would only be foolish for me to do it with such a good life now. Not saying that I have the ideal life; I like the way I am now and hopefully it only gets better from here on out. Others can reinvent themselves and I would support them 100%.
There are things I would do if I was FORCED to reinvent myself that would be so much fun! I would love to get rid of my fear of flying and travel all over the world. I can not see myself getting into an airplane any time soon in this life time. If I had a redo, I would want to be adventurous and able to just go and do it all. I have always wanted to go to a place where the ocean water is clear and I could see my feet! That is a dream of mine. I probably will never be able to do that unless I am rich and there is a drug invented to loose the fear of heights and flying.
You have a good perspective on this concept, Carley. Given the choice to reinvent oneself is a rather weighty decision. Like you, I believe that the challenges that we face contribute to our individual 'uniqueness.' By reinventing ourselves (at least completely), we are not necessarily being true to who we are.
