On something like a whim, I searched for my old posts on this forum to see what nonsense I had gotten up to or what I showed to others here, and was surprised to find nothing completely insane-- some fragments even very similar to what I've thought on this second pass. Understand, this hasn't been the case every time I crossed my trail of history; I generally try to grow more than that, such that each state previous seems childish in at least some way, no matter how old I was at the time.
On something else like a whim, I want to ask any readers reaching here; how have you crossed paths with your previous self lately? What were you like, relative to now?
