Jami Shares the Memory

When I'm working, or really, when I'm doing anything sort of mindless, my brain picks a memory and sort of reruns it. I think about how I felt about it then and how I feel about it now. I ponder how it changed me and made me who I am now. Because let's face it, we are, at any given time, partially formed of what we've lived through - good and bad. I don't know if I'm more introspective than others, or if this is something we all do. I wonder if how I look at things now is how I'll look at them in another 5 years, especially if it isn't how I looked at it 5 years ago. I have one friend who says that when he hits "major" birthdays (the 5's, you know - 20, 25, 30, etc) that he looks back and says "Man, I was a jerk then", but at least it's a different kind of jerk each time, right? It's important me to understand myself and my motives. I tell you think because I have some random memory posts in the works and now you'll know why.
