I'm in the midst of "finding myself" you could say... and I'm wondering how important childhood is to your present identity? How do they connect and should it be important to who I am today?

I mean people change for a reason of course so I am wondering, would reminiscing about my past (in depth) to help understand who I am be pointless? Please all answers appreciated. And I am a 19 year old male. Thank you...

Look at your life like a building. Your childhood is your foundation. Everything you go through builds the building. That's not to say, you can't "restore" the building after some time.

Yes, your childhood is very important to who you are. I grew up in a boarding school, and that paved the way for who I am today. Every experience guides you down a path.

In "finding yourself", your childhood is apart of that, but you always have control of who you are and where you are going.
