Sometimes I feel like I’m regularly reintroducing myself to people. Every few years. As a son, as a student, as a graduate, as an entrepreneur, as a worker, as a husband, etc.
We all change all the time. If we’re very lucky we’re evolving into better, more comfortable versions of ourselves.
If that’s the case, we have to keep reintroducing ourselves to our lifelong friends and family and measure the distance we’ve come by the new connections (often with old people) that we form.
