"My life? It's a mashup of humanities and AI, where creativity meets code. Throw in golf swings, music notes, theater lights, and a dash of comedy, and suddenly, it's not just a journey—it's a show."

I explore the question of whether I am the same person as my ten-year-old self. I argue that I am, but not because I haven’t changed—I clearly have. Instead, I define sameness as sharing an essential trait, which for me is living a continuous "person-life." I explain that while my body, personality, and experiences have evolved, the continuity of my life’s timeline connects all stages of who I am.

I build my argument using philosophical concepts like mereology, the study of parts and wholes, to explain how different versions of me across time are parts of one continuous whole. I also engage with John Locke’s identity theory but expand on it by emphasizing psychological continuity rather than identical memories. By doing this, I show how my past and present selves are connected, making me fundamentally the same person, even as I grow and change.
