Are you radically different than your younger self? Are there key elements that have stayed the same? Most parts? Do you feel as if you've followed the "roadmap of life" or forged your own path? Have there been "chapters" or do things all sort of slide into one contiguous flow? Share what you'd like!

Are you radically different than your younger self?

Oh yes. Younger me was an intolerable little shit.

Are there key elements that have stayed the same? > Most parts?

Lots of stuff. Getting older is mostly additive, hobby wise. I'm just worse at all the physical aspects of each hobby.

Do you feel as if you've followed the "roadmap of life" or forged your own path?

I had a pretty clear plan and stuck to it. Make the pretty beep beep computer box dance, and charge people money for doing so.

Have there been "chapters" or do things all sort of slide into one contiguous flow?

Definitely separate chapters. 0-2: Literally full of shit. 2-22: Full of shit, because I didn't know any better. 22-32: Full of shit, but working on improving. 32-42: Getting my shit together. 42-62: Still full of shit, after all that effort. 62-Dead: Probably still full of shit, honestly. Hopefully in a fun way, by now.

I'm at 35, still full of shit, but indeed getting it sorted out and pulling my shit together is a theme since last couple of years.

I also make computers do beep boop :). Wish you many good years before you <3
