Going back for Thanksgiving last week meant seeing mementos of the past 10 years of my life within a couple of days. I saw some old high school friends Friday night, saw CMU on Saturday, and then came back to Raleigh on Sunday. I've never experienced these three eras of my life in such a short period of time before and it got me thinking about how I've evolved as a person.
When I saw someone for the first time in over 6 years on Saturday night and he didn't look or act as I remembered, I was kind of shocked. The change in appearance was an obvious change from high school, but my other friends have since told me that this guy's personality is same as back then. How could I have missed that? I always pride myself on being able to read people pretty quickly, but here was someone who I spent hundreds of hours with in class and totally missed a big aspect of his personality. It just made me realize that not only do I have more insight about people, but also that I now have more confidence in myself that I can even step back and make these assessments without being blinded by other issues (like a teenage crush). Deep.
