The earliest memory that I still can just barely recall was being in a crib sometime around the age of two or three. I remember being placed in a sleeping crib. I saw the bars on the crib wall and I had the urge to get out. Unfortunately I was stuck, and I believe that my mom then gave me my teddy bear. Then I forget everything else. That is all I remember. In all respects, that is the farthest back in my history that I can recall and still feel like me.
Personally I think I felt annoyed back then about being trapped behind bars in a baby crib. In terms of personality I would guess there's still some remnants because if someone put me behind bars today, I would probably be a little upset.
If there's one thing about me that's still similar, it's that I still have my iron tough level of patience from back then. I remember I would wait hours to get out from behind captivity in that crib. Nowadays I shop for hours with my girlfriend waiting for her to change and the like, and I have the ability to stand this pain. Patience like that is hard to come by.
I totally agree with you and feeling "caged" when you were younger. Even when I was three or four, my mom still used to put me in play pens and it would really agitate me. I did eventually get used to it and it resulted in my being more patient. I also agree that patience is really hard to come by. I live with many people so there are a lot of younger kids in my home and being patient with them is one thing that I can say not many people in my family have. Its great to have that calm when everyone else is sort of freaking out.
