The same but different

Where pasts and presents meet up is has always been a point of interest for me pretty much though my whole life as it never seemed you jettisoned anything completely for me at least it's just been 'the same but different' 
You may learn new skills, acquire knowledge though new possibly challenging experiences that make an impression on you but in other ways still  'the same' as ever before.
For me that's feeling as fresh faced as the schoolgirl I was.
