Simplified meaning
People grow and change all the time. If you look back at who you were a year ago and feel a bit embarrassed, it's actually a good sign. It means you've learned new things and improved yourself. For example, think about how many mistakes you made when you first tried to ride a bicycle. If you still rode like that after a year, it would show you hadn't practiced or learned how to ride properly. In the same way, feeling a bit silly about past behaviors shows you've grown. So, when you notice these changes, it means you're learning and getting better every day.
