Are You The Same?

[MehGuy]

I'm more mature than I was several years ago.

Being an atheist has changed me in numerous ways. Some bad.. some good.

Same here.

But I'm not Atheist. I simply exited from organized religion due to non-biblical teachings in mainstream Christianity. I still believe in the Christ.

I think there was a time when I changed a bit through my late teens and early 20s, but now I'm reverting back to who I was as a child. I think my personality has always been the same, I just was a bit of a chamileon and similar to whoever I spent the most time with. I kind of lost myself for a while and had some emotional struggles and issues. In some ways I do feel like an entirely different person, and I don't feel like I recognize myself in my old pictures, even my name doesn't feel right at times, and my memories feel separate from me almost, more like I was observing someone else, though at the same time I don't feel any different from my childhood. It's strange. I am not as shy as I used to be, I understand a lot more things now, though perhaps I've lost a bit of my wonder and fascination, since I used to have a giant imagination as a child, and I still do, though it's not the same as before. Good question.

Yeah part of maturing is getting back in touch with that inner child we repressed as we seeked to be "grown"

Wow, that is a great way of putting it! I guess it shows that we understand ourselves when we no longer have anything to prove.

Bah, I never repressed the" inner child" , I took my Toys R Us oath seriously.... you fickle people you....

I'm VERY different from even 5 years ago though.
