Personally, this isn't an aspect of myself that I am willing to change.
These bits and parts of ourselves, if they are as intrinsic to us as the blood we pump through our hearts, is as vital to our make up as any other singular aspect of self. It doesn't just get shut off. It doesn't go away. More so, it matures as we grow and understand it, as we embrace it, as we find what it is we want, what we crave, and what we desire from it. Time and again, people have weighed this as if it were just another phase, something to grow out of on the path to something more 'meaningful', or perhaps more normal? And when that decision is made, and families are built, and there are children, and all these other complicated things thrown into the mix, yeah, priorities change. But that doesn't seem the case here.
If this is important, don't feel like tossing it away to become something else, unless you feel the desire to part with it.
