I spent years of my childhood convinced that monsters were real. My parents assured me over and over that they weren't. But I didn't listen. What if grownups were wrong? Maybe they just didn't know!
I've come to realize that even in my adult life, this kind of thinking comes back to haunt me. Older people (my parents, former professors) tell me I don't need to worry about something, but I do anyway. I think, what if they don't know? But they usually do.
Only here's the thing. I'm old enough to know that adults don't always have the answers, no matter how old they are. A lot of life you just figure out on your own.
So the real trick is figuring out...which situation am I in now?
