Are you different than how you were five years ago?

Yes very much so. For one I'm not using illicit substances. And for two I have a level of mind clarity I have never had before.

5 years ago i was still in foster hell ,nothing is the same now.

Yes. Five years ago I had hope and a vision for the future.

nah … might be a bit more 'sardonic' but even that's doubtful.

Insight = Yes
Character = Meh

Yes, I guess I am not as naive

Considerably different. Five years ago I was the same as I was in high school. Now my state of mind is a lot better. I can bare things and carry on for the most part a lot easier than I did then. I was once pulled down in the spiral of my destructive thoughts, now I can think clearer.

i have less energy.

I was working on graduating from college. I was obese.
