Ch-ch-ch-changes, Turn and Face the Strain

. . . just gonna have to be a different man

ANYway, I was once told by someone that your personality changes constantly, so much so, that every seven years you become a different person. I can't remember who this person was, but I'ma believe them anyway (and you should too).

I'm constantly surprised by the new things I learn about myself. I used to be terrified of rollercoasters, now I quite enjoy them. I used to cherish being alone and completely self-sufficient, now I find it hard to spend more than two evenings in a row alone and enjoy almost any interaction I have with the populace. I used to like Family Guy (although I blame my dislike for it now less on a change in me and more on the sub-par writing on the new seasons). I used to think that I could and would do anything for the right amount of money. I used to live and plan only for the future.

I really have changed a lot in the last few years, so I can't wait to see who I'll be in another seven years.

I could end up being a socialist Asian man, my dad would flip his shit (about the socialist bit, although now that I think about it, I'm sure that my dad would also be at least slightly curious about how I became Asian and male . . .)

I would still love you if you were a socialist Asian man in 7 years, for the record. It would be weird, but I'd get over it.

I read that it's your cells that renew themselves so much that by seven years, all your cellular material is totally different. Same difference, though, I guess!
