香蕉视频直播淭hat isn香蕉视频直播檛 you.香蕉视频直播� (peals of laughter)

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

It香蕉视频直播檚 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, I香蕉视频直播檇 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 I香蕉视频直播檓 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 there香蕉视频直播檚 any dream analysts out there, hit me up.

My own layman香蕉视频直播檚 view is that it香蕉视频直播檚 because, thanks to some unwanted surgery, I can香蕉视频直播檛 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, I香蕉视频直播檓 used to my current self, but at least once a week I scare myself getting out of the shower.

香蕉视频直播淲ho the hell is that?香蕉视频直播�

香蕉视频直播淥h, damn. That香蕉视频直播檚 where we香蕉视频直播檙e at now? Dang.香蕉视频直播�

Then I chuckle at myself.

Reminds me of the time I was getting fitted for a new suit before my son香蕉视频直播檚 wedding.

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

香蕉视频直播淲ow, you香蕉视频直播檙e pretty big through the shoulders,香蕉视频直播� he said.

香蕉视频直播淵ou got that right, Skippy,香蕉视频直播� went my inner monologue.

香蕉视频直播淒id you used to work out?香蕉视频直播�

Another ouch moment.

Similar to when I drive to work, and the 1980s hair band tunes are playing and I香蕉视频直播檓 still younger me, then I step out of the vehicle and the 香蕉视频直播榮nap, crackle and pop香蕉视频直播� brings me back to reality, and I香蕉视频直播檓 not having cereal.

It even happened just minutes ago.

One of my colleagues noticed the photo and said 香蕉视频直播渢hat香蕉视频直播檚 a strapping young lad.香蕉视频直播�

香蕉视频直播淵es, yes it is,香蕉视频直播� I said.

香蕉视频直播淎lmost didn香蕉视频直播檛 recognize you.香蕉视频直播�

Oof.

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

And it香蕉视频直播檚 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 you香蕉视频直播檙e dreaming.

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

Let me know, I香蕉视频直播檇 be fascinated to hear from you.
