I have no real idea how I've changed. You'd have to ask others and I've made sure there is no other person who could cover that continuum.
It is kind of like how I can't remember not being able to read. Or not understanding division of fractions. Or even not having a bear that is full of gray.
The change is gradual so I just assume I've always been the way I am. If I try to picture myself in third grade, I'm still a 6-foot-tall fat guy amongst the midgets.
However, one thing I know has changed is that I am now willing to regularly wear non-sneaker shoe types (though I have worn the exact same model of Rockports for a decade). Also, though it might not seem like it, I have learned that just because someone says they don't know something that I do know doesn't mean they are always eager for me to enlighten them.
