The more things change...?

Me: It's amazing how much about me hasn't seemed to change after all these years of life.

Also me: Those statements don't reflect who I am now.  I said that five minutes ago.

Ramble-tags: perhaps a slight exaggeration, but I do often grapple with the question, of how much I've changed as a person, versus how much has remained constant, and this seemingly simple question, seems to have a surprisingly elusive answer, am I a person who is essentially the same person I was as a child?, Or am I a person in constant flux who has changed dramatically over the course of my life, it really just depends, on how I look at it, I suppose
