I think it was that aging gave the gift of "not giving a shit".

I would like to think I pass the younger self test. The teenage mk would be the most critical, of course. I was very sensitive to hypocrisy at that time, and I don't think I'm guilty of much. I like my current job. I'm not sure I see a great career as my passion, however. I think I see it as one that enables me to be more of myself, and perform less duties that aren't of my design. Maybe I just say that because I don't have so much of a singular passion, but get jazzed about so many different things.

I don't know about the confidence thing. I think my younger self and I traded some confidences. It's an interesting thought.
