The earliest memory I can think of is when I was around 6. My parents and I, along with some of our family friends, were at a beach. I remember climbing a tree near the shore along with some other kids. I can't say that there was anything particularly special about this event that would make me remember it. I just think I enjoyed it at the time so I can still remember it. I don't think I identify with my younger self because it feels surreal thinking about my childhood self.
