There is a great image by Nietzsche about this, I think. He writes about how we need to take our own ashes to the mountain, meaning we need to burn who we were so we can be again.
Change is absolutely inevitable and I hope to change every day too! I guess the “inventing” part sort of demands that tabula rasa I’m not too sure about when it comes to personal growth. Every change builds on top of either the previous change or the ashes of the change we discarded. However, I think we’re saying the same thing, and it is so refreshing!
You must have been asked to “never change” at some point or been accused in a similar way, “oh, you’ve changed…” I certainly have! As if changing were a bad thing… I’ll definitely reinvent myself before I stay the same. Haha!
