"What you have to do to start over is a good one. Leaving behind everyone you knew before is probably the bare minimum for a new start." The 25 year old perched on the back of a couch with his feet on the cushions probably doesn't look like he's an expert on new starts, but he's been there, done that, got the t-shirt. "Here is a pretty good place for that. No one knows who you are, so you can be whoever you want to be, without any of your old life lurking behind you. Bonus points, you don't have to worry about people's reactions. They're a part of the old life anyway, and they're not going to be adapt to change readily, so you might as well get rid of them."

"After that, it's just a matter of figuring out who you want to be, and how you want to be seen."
