Are You The Same Person You Were As A Child?

I ran across an interesting article in The New Yorker Magazine (issue Oct. 10, 2022); Joshua Rothman’s “Becoming You”. Before reading any further, take a moment to reflect on your childhood memories. It’s slightly difficult, isn’t it? Rothman suggests “If we could see our childish selves more clearly, we might have a better sense of the course and character of our lives.” He goes on, at an early age “Is the fix already in, or will our stories have surprising twists and turns?”. In essence, you may be a continuer, cherishing and hanging on to that younger self. Or possibly a divider, who separates early life from their current life., appreciating a multipart life. Neither is exclusively correct, but it is difficult to separate our own perspective. <a href="https://medium.com/@jonscarborough06/are-you-the-same-person-you-were-as-a-child-58653365942">Read More</a>
