Are You The Same Person Throughout Life? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now I am approaching my sixth decade and I laugh at myself for still thinking I am the same person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I see older people on the tour busses in Europe and think, look at all those geezers riding the bus!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I stop laughing when I see my reflection rolling past and looking at me on the same bus!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I still feel like that twelve year old kid i was when my inner narrator appeared on the scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freedom, Religion and Biology <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Where did she get that from? \ud83d\ude09<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
