Sometimes having these flashes of memory that feel depersonalized, like watching a film, but they're just "me" from some time ago. Other memories don't share this quality.

Perhaps the weirdest bit of the puzzle is I've been this person before, when I was much younger. It's like that entire personality was locked away behind some door. Waiting.

The last time I was this person, I lacked some very basic experiences necessary to protect myself in a social environment. This time, I don't feel that same sense of naive uncertainty. This makes me very happy.

Speaking of memories. I realized a while ago that there was something off about my memory. Something not working right. Seems, specifically, I couldn't remember much that was wistful or light or positive without melancholy without strong prompting. This is no longer the case.
