My TED Story

Nothing can make yourself the same after injury. Brain physiology is one matter - with a remediable injury your brain parameters can be completely back to norm. There is another matter. The experience the trauma brings. Anyone's trying to 'bring you back' might be strictly annoying.

Yet you do not need to become another person. You can reinvent yourself. This is the way I took myself a point in time. Who'd care to have one hairdo for life, anyway ;)

Some might say you have not changed. There is the simple way to tell: what changes, changes; what does not, does not :)
