Practice Makes the Auditor of Perfection

As I was a child I consistently listened to the television on volume 3 or 4, the lowest of low volume settings. When one of my family members asked why I watched television with the volume off, I replied "I'm practicing my hearing." That sums up my personality pretty well.
I had a friend visit me recently and I hadn't seen her in years. Her response towards me is not one I am unfamiliar with, "You look the same, you haven't changed."
In fact I had this very response in a brief visit back to my alma mater. Overwhelmingly, "You're the same." Well, I thought I've changed.
