willow01's blog post - I have a question to put out there.....

When you get older and have memories from years ago, do you picture the you from "now" in those situations or the younger "you" from those days.

I am just curious as I have been doing some thinking back about things from the past and I somehow can't seem to connect my thinking then to my thinking now. I just wondered if it was just me or is this a normal human trait. There is actually several situations that I have in mind so not one thing in particular. I realise that we all change as life goes on and everyday changes us a little or a lot but at the end of the day we are still the same person (or are we?) but there are some things that i feel so differently about that I sometimes wonder if I really am the same person I was 10 years ago....

I know im not the same person I was years ago it might be that we mature and think differently, things that seemed so important back then don't seem so now,

We change but in a good way. Remaining the same person but changing the way you think or grow only enhances the person that you already are.

I may look different but I still feel young.

As for putting myself now in memories of past years? Yes, I do that.

Whenever I look back, I always see myself as I was then. I was actually nice looking then! lol
