Growing up

I find that as I get older and learn more things, I look back on my past self with some odd feelings. The main one would be that I see my past self as being far less clever, outgoing, or creative as my present self. Obviously I'm always learning new things, and getting better at 'being me', but it seems like it creates a paradox: no matter how highly I think of myself now, in a few months, I'll look back to now, and conclude that I was nothing when compared to the present day(vid).
