what I meant to say : Are you the same person that you were ten years ago?

Wow! A lot of young people on here. I'm feeling old just answering this question!
I have a lot of the same mannerisms,the same voice,the same body,etc...
But I have changed. I have grown as a person. I have become more self-confidant and more mature. I take charge of things and get things done. I admire myself for all that I have done and I keep pushing myself more and more.
I have more children now than 10 years ago and they teach me new things every day! They remind me of my youth and also it is a good reminder of how much we all change over the years.
We were just talking about this at a birthday party the other night...if you could go back to an age with the same knowledge you have now,what age would you want to be? Many interesting answers came from this conversation.
I determined that I like where I am at right now,and I'm sure I will be just as happy with myself 10 more years from now.
Changes are good and they help us to grow in ourselves. I wouldn't want to change a thing and I definitely wouldn't want to go back.

It is likely that every cell in my physical body is less than ten years old. This means that physically I have already died on a microcosmic level. Psychologically, I have also changed through numerous environmental encounters which have changed the very essence of my fundamental belief system. Although, the person I was ten years ago has paradoxically led me to the person I am today.

well i was only 6 years old, but people tell me that i have not changed much at all. i dont require much attention, i can easily entertain myself, and i am quite shy unless u know me well. i think i am the same person i was ten years ago inside, and i hope i remain this way because i love what i am and who ive become.

Apparently, our identity recycles every 7 years. So, who you were is on the continuum of who you are, but it's like driving cross country on I-90: Boston changes into Indiana, then into South Dakota, then into the Rockies, then into Seattle. You know the places are connected, and you had to go through one to get the the other, but they are definitely not the same place.

Most definitely not. Ten years ago I was 17 and I've rather distanced myself from that person.

No, because ten years ago I was only 4 years old! ;)

No, I'm different in lots of ways. It's funny though because in the present we think our values and our way of life is set in stone, but things to do change, and people do too. And I'm kind of glad that we are constantly evolving because otherwise life would be pretty boring.

I can say for sure no way. I was 21, carefree and single.
Now I'm 31, married, a stay-at-home mom and go to bed by 11:00 everynight !!!
Sounds fun doesn't it?!!

Nope, I was 12, and I was an awkward, shy, skinny-minny. Today I am happy to report that I have curves, am quite out-going, and am only awkward at the most convenient of times. :)
