When you hear someone saying "I'll start a new life"...?

Question

do you instinctively think that they're about to leave all their former life behind, or that they would carry it away to the next level of their existence, but they'll try to transform it?

Answer 1

I think some1 will agree when i say "easier said than done; or i got to see it to believe it" It's amazing how ppl say things in the spure of the moment or just cause.When ppl say stuff like that i just kinda assume they are saying it only cause it sounds good. now when they actually put forth effort of change then i can say ok this person is really trying to start a new life. but until then i cannot take them seriously!

Answer 2

I think that they would be leaving their bad habits/addictions/failings behind and turn a new leaf!  Not something drastic as leave EVERYTHING and EVERYONE connected with present life and move away.

Answer 3

whatever u do, where ever u r, ur past is always with u in the form of memories.....u can not ever forget anything in ur life....no doubt, its a good idea at times to start up a new life and forget all old things but it is practically not possible as the thing once happened can be avoided, but not forgotten....

but still, i believe its a positive thing to even think that "I'll start a new life".....

Answer 4

It means that the person will try to change small parts of themselves.

Answer 5

no i don't believe it, cause you cannot be reborn, you can change and polish your life in order to improve and get better, it would be better if they say "I will change and improve my life"

Answer 6

I believe it just means they are going to change the way they have been living

Answer 7

All it means that the person is confused and doesn't know what he is talking about. At best he is trying to buy some time.
