How do I get started making a new identity for myself?

Sure! When I was studying personal growth at university, I found one student who was an immigrant and had to build his identity from the ground up. His story was that when he was coming of age, he decided to look at himself as a blank slate, and he basically considered the situation and what kind of adult he wanted to be. He didn’t have the same goals that people did who were born into stable homes or who knew their families were going to be there for them. But he had been raised in a loving home, and was even proud of his immigrant past, and it was meaningful to him. So he thought about how he could apply his family values to who he wanted to be, and he decided he would become an investor of sorts. He went to work and focused on his mind, he went to college, and he eventually became an investor and now he does quite well.
