We get so frustrated with who we used to be, but why? Why do we act like our past selves should have known what only our present self understands now? Why are we blaming the "beginner" for not having the skills of the person we became later? Why treat that old version of you like you were supposed to walk when you were still learning to stand? Why forget that every mistake, every wrong turn, every fear was part of building the person you rely on today? And why... why is it so hard to give our past self the fairness we give everyone else?
