3 times!. At 12, at 19 and just recently at 25!. I was just telling someone last week that I reinvent every couple of years, just like Madonna!.

Since February I have moved, severed a very unhealthy friendship, found a new best friend, gotten 3 new tattoos, changed my hair color, started teaching Zumba and have become a Reiki practitioner!.

I can feel it that there will be one more positive change between now and December!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I lost count but it had to do with professional life and personal life!. I usually keep the core of me but have had to become a chameleon at times!. There were times that I hated it!. Since I have gotten older, I am who I am and no more grabbing that "face that I keep in a jar by the door", in reference to the Beatles song Eleanor Rigby!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have had nine major re-inventions, and several minor ones along the way!.

For the major ones I changed my name, my wardrobe, my geographical location, signature and hand writing, even my accent and the pitch of my voice (on three occasions I had to learn a different language)!. As a matter of fact I changed everything (external) that I could think of!.!.!.

The mini-transformations usually didn't involve moving or changing my name!. Although at one point, anyone who had not seen me for around 3 months found it very difficult to recognise me!.!.!.'You keep changing!' they would cry out!.

Just reading through this, I realise it sounds like I am either a felon or a phony, but if you were aware of my personal background it would all make sense!

Anyway I think life is a total blast, that there is so much to learn until the day I eventually drop the body for good, and that I do not feel the need to define who I really am by the different costumes I choose to wear!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

ONLY once!.!.!.when I was told I would have to retire from my job!.!.!.I was NOT happy with this decision at all!.!.!.I hurt myself at work, and that was the LAST day I ever worked!.!.!.!.
So then you MUST figure out what you are supposed to do with the rest of your life!.!.!.

Its not an easy thing to do!.!.

truly!? probably never!. I like to think of it as the True me exists somewhere and life is the process of going back to that perfection I used to have!. Like I had it once and somehow lost it, now I'm trying to become more "me"Www@QuestionHome@Com
