Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

my entire life!. sometimes I wish I would be stopped at a border and forced to return!. I look around and everything has lost its familiarity to me, people and objects alike!. yet, I'm still not fully aware that this is how it should be, that I'll have to build new metaphors, that I'll have to call something else than this "my home"!.
I go with the flow and I hope I won't drown!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You should leave behind every negative aspect of your life that contributed to your decision for a new start!. You should try to leave behind the things that have proved to have affected you negatively, but take with you the knowledge gained from them!. Try to sever ties to anything that would limit you from living the life you're striving for!. In the end it's all dependent on the kind of life you lived up until that point and the one you want to start living!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

All, or nothing, or something in between!.

You can start a new by being reborn, by disavowing who you are, and testifying to who you want to be from this moment on!. That is the "All"!. It is the making a clean break strategy!.

The "nothing' strategy assumes that you have the power to change the world around you and not simply yourself!. If you can get the world to think as you do to do as you want them to do and change for your better then you need leave nothing behind because you can take it with you!.

And for "something in between" that is something like the transexual who has to sacrifice his or her private parts to commit to the change he or she wants to experience!. The person does not have to change his or her inner appearance but the outer appearance must go to make the change complete!. Then again, not every one wants to be "new"!.

So, the answer is it varies!.

For some "anew" means changing themselves, or changing others, or changing appearances, or for the great many creating something new, a child, or a great deed, that is something new, and in that way the old life no longer attaches to the newborn or the new idea!.

All tomorrows are anew!.

You can't leave anything behind and you can always start new!. Just because you become anonymous in a new environment, doesn't mean that your causes won't produce effects!. On the other hand, you can change your delusions into understanding and then make causes that will overcompensate for the previous ones!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

you can't leave it behind its part of who you are, its where your experiences are stored, you can only put it to the back of your mind and use it to draw strength from when you need it in your new life!.lolWww@QuestionHome@Com
