Am I still the same as 15 years ago or am I a mere copy of this guy?
Same, with added footnotes.
Well you were probably just a little kiddo back then so certainly you've changed a lot
Anyway, I get your point. I stress about the same issue every now and then but in the end your most rooted characteristics remain, so you shouldn't be to worried about it. Your brain is simply adapting to the world around you, a world that is constantly changing, so it's only natural that you change with it.
What we call "life" is constant movement so there's no way you or anybody else would be completely the same for more than mere moments

There was never any "you" to begin with.
What is there is the parts of the bodies, whether you want to break it down to atomic structures or cellular structures or simple biological parts. They all create a function and hold together the body and make the body function. The sense of "you" comes from the fact that the brain believes there to have an agent that controls this whole thing when the reality the work of all things working in conjunction and junction and creating their function.
There are no extra terrestrial ether called a soul that resides in the body, nor any extra terrestrial entity that is outside the body that controls it. There is simply the body acting and the brain creating the illusion of the sense of "you" ness.
