The biggest thing I've been surprised at post-30 is how much I have in common with my past selves. Not that there's no differences I could point to, and not that some of them wouldn't be surprising to past-me, but by and large, I'm more the same than I thought I'd be. I think I thought I'd be more like the middle-aged adults I had seen growing up. They certainly didn't look like me, and seemed preoccupied with concerns that were foreign to me. Looking back, though, many of those in my age cohort also didn't look exactly like me and seemed to have foreign concerns. :)
