I don't know for a fact, but I suspect you're closer to the first of those numbers?
When I was around the first of those numbers, I felt much the same--that I'd stay the same person, with the same talents and limitations and comfort zones, as I aged. As I approach the second number, I'm realizing more and more how much time DOES change a person, and how much a person can grow as they mature. I guarantee you, I'm much more able to handle issues and jealousies in my relationship now than I was even five years ago. CERTAINLY more than I was when lurkette and I first met, when I was 17. I look back on the naive certainty I had about life then with fondness and a little embarrassment.
When I was back toward that first number, hearing anyone express this notion seemed condescending to me. I apologize if it seems that way to you.
