somewhere along the line

have you ever woken up and wondered how you got where you are. I don't mean in "I had way to much to drink" way. I guess the best way to explain what I am trying to say is to talk about myself. I used to be a certain kind of person. A person with certain values, certain ideas, and certain core feelings about the world. Well the other day i woke up to find that I am not the person that i thought I was. Or maybe a better way to put it is like this. If the me from 5 years ago ran into the me now he wouldn't bother kicking my ass because he wouldn't recognize me well enough to know that he should. Does this happen to everyone when they grow up or was i just weak..
