I wonder if there is a way to keep some of the familiarity and still change? You don't have to change everything. Can you change some of the most important things first and keep all the rest as is for now? Somewhere there is a core self and that person should not change, even if you change some of the patterns or behaviors that frustrate you or hold you back.
