When I, or others, made the choices that they did in ways that affect
me. Possibly, they, or I, could have made other choices. That would have
required other information* at the time.
In essence, I am the person I am right at this instant because of the
sum of instances before. The difference between this instant and the
next might be very subtle but, like any chaotic system, those subtle
shifts add up.
*information in the vague relativistic sense.

Ok, never heard that expression before. Still does not make much sense,
but I guess that was the point.

I'm pretty sure it's not really in wide-spread use. But things like this
creep from TV shows or movies into popular culture.

I had a jealous and bully older brother. A jealous and petty mother. A
removed and uninterested father. It has been a strong force in my life
since day one... I had to make a lot of adjustments to deal with it
all. Still do...

Yes. I have developed, but the trajectory of that development hasn't
altered significantly.

No, something drastic can throw a person off his track.
