Young people have a sometimes heartless way of being completely truthful.

It91裸聊视频檚 a good thing. I think.

In this case, the 12-year-old in our home was looking at a calendar.

For a fun Christmas present for his mother, I91裸聊视频檇 had a calendar made, including shots of pets, past and present and random shots of family members.

Included (I believe I was Mr. July) is the shot you can see to your right of some young guy who may or may not have been me a couple of years (OK, decades) back.

As the boy was sifting through the calendar, correctly remembering every dog and cat, he stopped on that particular month and wondered who the person was.

Looks at photo. Looks at me. Looks back and photo. Looks back at me. Then, hilarity ensues.

Ouch.

I thought of the calendar and in particular, this photo, the other day.

I realized that in almost all of my dreams (the ones I can recall when I wake up), I am seeing myself from a detached perspective and I91裸聊视频檓 almost always a younger version of myself.

Sometimes as a boy, but almost always as a young adult.

And always, always doing something athletic. Running, jumping, playing sports.

If there91裸聊视频檚 any dream analysts out there, hit me up.

My own layman91裸聊视频檚 view is that it91裸聊视频檚 because, thanks to some unwanted surgery, I can91裸聊视频檛 do much of that anymore.

And since it was a primary focus for most of my life, I miss it. So I think my subconscious tries to help me out.

But probing a little deeper, I wonder just how differently we see ourselves throughout our adult lives.

Now, I91裸聊视频檓 used to my current self, but at least once a week I scare myself getting out of the shower.

91裸聊视频淲ho the hell is that?91裸聊视频

91裸聊视频淥h, damn. That91裸聊视频檚 where we91裸聊视频檙e at now? Dang.91裸聊视频

Then I chuckle at myself.

Reminds me of the time I was getting fitted for a new suit before my son91裸聊视频檚 wedding.

Suit guy brings a couple of jackets for me to try on, then starts measuring me up.

91裸聊视频淲ow, you91裸聊视频檙e pretty big through the shoulders,91裸聊视频 he said.

91裸聊视频淵ou got that right, Skippy,91裸聊视频 went my inner monologue.

91裸聊视频淒id you used to work out?91裸聊视频

Another ouch moment.

Similar to when I drive to work, and the 1980s hair band tunes are playing and I91裸聊视频檓 still younger me, then I step out of the vehicle and the 91裸聊视频榮nap, crackle and pop91裸聊视频 brings me back to reality, and I91裸聊视频檓 not having cereal.

It even happened just minutes ago.

One of my colleagues noticed the photo and said 91裸聊视频渢hat91裸聊视频檚 a strapping young lad.91裸聊视频

91裸聊视频淵es, yes it is,91裸聊视频 I said.

91裸聊视频淎lmost didn91裸聊视频檛 recognize you.91裸聊视频

Oof.

At this point, you just have to laugh. Happens to everyone.

And it91裸聊视频檚 never an issue if I can avoid the mirror first thing in the morning.

But am I curious to see how others see themselves internally, or when you91裸聊视频檙e dreaming.

Is it current you? Long-ago you? A mixture of both?

Let me know, I91裸聊视频檇 be fascinated to hear from you.
