Do you think you are a different person than you were 10 years ago?

Can you even remember what you were like 10 years ago? Have you changed for the better or for the worse? Are you richer or poorer, happier or sadder? Have some parts of you sagged a little? or have you got fitter and firmer?

I am a much better and happier person these days. Ten years ago I was with a mentally and physically abusive partner and I was too scared to say boo, there's no way I want to go back there!

Sounds like you have made great strides over the last 10 years. Noone deserves to be in a situation like that.

My memories of around that age are a little blurred, guess its because I was having "to much" fun

I wish I looked like I did 10 years ago! Time takes it's toll unfortunately. In saying that, there are many compensations: I'm happier, more confident, more secure, better off financially and have a better life style. I guess it's up to us what we make of each decade.

Thanks for that, I also wish I looked like I did 10 years ago! Aside from that your other points would agree with me as well, must be the joy of getting older... Perks of aging... 1/ More stability financially 2/ Higher confidence levels 3/ Improved life style Disadvantages... 1/ Loss of "good looks" over time

Well if you are only 21, you are still very young. Although I guess you are nearly twice the age you were 10 years ago.
