I think 16 year old me would be happy to know that I still make music, helped create a cool online site and make podcasts and stuff. But I think 16 year old me wouldn't be thrilled about what I do for a living. But as far as "core values" go, mine remain intact. They're not for sale.More importantly, for all the hubskiers over the age of, say, 20, think of something you considered a core value you had when you were 16. Now think if that has changed since then, even a little; core values aren't supposed to change at all, so minor shifts are really glacial movements--an inch or two, but the movement of a continent is noteworthy.
-Good question. I often wonder what 16 year old me would think of what I'm doing with my life. It's hard to say, really. It shouldn't be hard to say, that was me, right? But I can distinctly recall that I had a very hard-core, "I'll never sell-out" mentality. The problem is, I don't think I ever had a clear definition of what "selling out" meant. Also, I had NO IDEA about so many things economically.
