And by not getting rid of your other account, you can always have the peace of mind by having that too. In fact, honestly you could post in both until it becomes too much of a hassle following them both. Several people have multiple accounts, so there is no harm in that. For example suesa has 2, she uses one for her "main ideas" and work, and then the other for a more humorous side of her.
Its not a problem as long as you aren't trying to game the system. I would be friends with both "mike's" ...
And one more idea for you, just to get see how much better you are now than then. Try getting your new account up, without any of your steem behind it. It will force you to sharpen your focus and then you will have 2 accounts with power!
