Do you think it’s weird to feel like you haven’t really changed since you were a child? I’m not talking about maturity or life experience. I’m talking about your core personality.

Honestly, I still feel like the same person I was as a kid. I’m still questioning everything and everyone. I still find the silliest things hilarious. I’m still endlessly curious, always wandering down one rabbit hole after another.

Lord knows life has changed me. Experience has changed me. Grief has changed me. But underneath it all, I think my personality has remained remarkably consistent.

Maybe we don’t become different people. Maybe we just become older versions of who we’ve always been.
