The "Old me" vs. Who I want to be: Why do we always want to reinvent ourselves?

Do you feel like a different person from who you were 5 years ago? 5 months ago? Even 5 minutes ago? Ever hopped on the midnight train going anywhere? Hopped off the plane at LAX with a dream and a cardigan? In our society and pop culture, we're surrounded by romanticized stories of people leaving behind their old lives in search of who they dream to be. So today, Kristee and Sierra seek out the answer to an age-old question: why do we always want to reinvent ourselves? What types of motivations do we have to do this? And how can we work on ourselves in a realistic way that will last without leaving behind everything that makes us who we are?
