when did you gain consciousness?

4 hours ago 4

that is, not just when you became aware that you exist or started having memories, but when you.. became you?

im 20 years old. when i think about the timeline of my life, i "start" the count somewhere at 10 years old, but 13 is when something really clicked. this is the age from which i actively remember my thoughts and emotions. whereas 10-12, even though i do remember having complex thoughts haha, kind of seem like "autopilot age"

at 13 though my thoughts got the "shape" that they sort of have now. before that things just happened
