I think when I grow, as you have, I start seeing embarrassing things I didn't find embarrassing before. My first reaction is to "cut off" that part of me and pretend it doesn't exist (don't go to the bathroom in a Bay, "it" floats in the salt water!) but over time I have found it better to gather them up and work them into who I have become; we can't have what we have "learned", who we have become, without having the lessons/mistakes that helped us learn?
