who I'm getting more and more like

to me, "resemble" has too much to do with appearance

: ...then "becoming" would've been my choice (instead of "getting"). Personally, I think "resemble" can work with appearance, behavior or even attitude. :-)

grow to look like
I do not paint a portrait to look like the subject, rather does the person grow to look like his portrait. ~ Salvador Dali
When you look at me,
Do you see him within?
Will I grow to look like him
Outside and deep within?

At school one of my nice nicknames was the prof, so maybe I grew to look like my nickname.
