I haven't really changed much as a person. I'm still the same dork I was in my 20.

Wow, really?

I have massively changed, to the point I'm almost scared about who I'll be in my 60s (fortunately, due to the boomers it'll probably explode by then, anyway!).

And I barely trust who I am now, knowing it's inauthentic to my youth identity and probably my elderly identity (why I think there's only 3 - who knows? This isn't really rational)

Point is, as I've aged I've become more conflicted (I guess in reality, I'm ignoring an existential crisis which bleeds into other topics)
