I am somewhat excited at the possibility of a different future self. I'm sure that I am guilty of the behavior in the study to some extent, but I have typically taken decision-making with permanent consequences very seriously. I've only seriously considered a tattoo once. I would have gotten it 15 years ago, and it would still make sense to me now. More than a design, it would have been a reminder.

Maybe it's because I have been through a life change that abruptly altered my character. However, I fully expect to grow into a different person. I would be disappointed to think that I won't.

I also have a number of friends that I have known for more than 20 years. I enjoy watching the changes in all of us.
