Welcome, and yes, exactly!

If you translate the English sentence very literal, everybody has to say:

“ich bin nicht mehr die Person, die ich mal war.” (die Person (fem.))

Please forgive me for not making a grammar comment on this sentence. I only wish to convey that it cracked me up the first time I heard it, and I still love saying it.
