Childhood beliefs are a beautiful window into how we once understood the world, and looking back at mine makes me both laugh and appreciate the innocence of youth. I genuinely believed that every raindrop was a tiny angel crying, and that if I caught enough in my mouth, I'd gain special powers. I also thought that the moon followed our car specifically, and that turning off the TV meant the characters inside went to sleep and waited for us. I believed that swallowing seeds would make a tree grow in my stomach—a terrifying thought that didn't stop me from eating watermelon. I was convinced that my parents knew everything and had all the answers to life's mysteries. I thought money came from ATMs magically, not understanding that deposits had to happen first. I believed that if I stepped on a crack, something terrible would happen to my mother. These beliefs, while silly now, shaped my imagination and sense of wonder.
