I was today years old when i learnt about this paradox. All afternoon I’ve been thinking about it. Still thinking about it. It goes to the question, I’m i the same person i was say…5 years ago? My world view, my values, my thoughts. my circle…Everything has changed. I’m i the same person?

I ask this question over and over again because, first, happy new year….This year i got to spend it with Family and it was has been amazing. We haven’t been together in the same place at the same time in over 20yrs. Except for my sister, whom I’ve seen abit more than my brothers. Our interaction has changed. It’s become….More. I’m more patient, i think.

Anyways, as i write this, I’m in Anaheim, California. First time out here. Looking at people in their cars, very very large cars, going about their business. Sipping Iced coffee and eating avocado toast. Such an American snack. Loving every minute of it.

Having this experience now and learning about the paradox today has made me realize that, this was the perfect time for it precisely because I’m who i am now. Its the only way I would have been able to fully appreciate the experience. I love it here. I intend to make it a habit.
