Self-continuity refers to how connected someone feels to their past and former selves. Research suggests that friendly feelings towards former and future selves can impact physical and mental health. One way psychologists measure self-continuity is by asking people which of these seven pairs of circles represents how close they feel to their future self. Those whose circles overlap more fully are displaying greater self-continuity.

Two and a half hours of work in the freezing cold (well, maybe not freezing but I doubt it was any warmer than 5°C) warehouse by my ex's farm with the result of 37 photos.

Photographer and model both me. Tripod is my friend.
