People tend to become mellower, more responsible, and just plain happier as they age. There are well documented stages to a person's life, but senior citizens in general tend to be the happiest group and teens are notoriously unhappy. It may not be easy being green, but it's even tougher being a teen. One African tribe won't let couples marry until they're 30 considering them too immature. That's the burden of humanity is a gestation period longer than most animals even live. Including most importantly how to be happy and content with who we are.

Im considerably more focused and a million degrees calmer. People i havent seen for some time have commented on how much more affable ive become. Im certainly far more tolerant of stupidity but conversely, more intolerant of religious zealots.

I actually agree with everyone. I used to be a perfectionist with everything and I have learned that alot of things don't really matter, so in that regards I've become more mellow. Yet, in other ways I'm begining to finally own my inner *****, whereas when I was younger I was too busy pleasing everyone around me that I didn't even have an opinion. Now I "Definitely" have my opinion and because I didn't get practice voicing it, it can come out like a cannon and wipe everyone out. Things definitely have shifted for me as I get older, especially the boobs, they're swinging low these days. :) Overall, I wouldn't want to repeat my younger years, I'm enjoying getting older, I'm learning what a beautiful person I am, where as when I was younger, I couldn't see my beauty.

I think with the years your personality does change in slight ways with experiences. But, who you are under it all stays the same to an extent.
