I once actually thought that when movies and shows were developing, I thought that they were being made within the year of their release date. I didn’t know that these projects were sometimes done in advance or took years to make.
That when ‘Commercial Breaks’ happened during shows, I thought they meant that the actors needed a break before resuming. Not realizing that episodes are already made and commercials just interrupt things to just sell you shit.
When I learned food and drinks were energy for your body, I actually thought that when I got sleepy or tired, I just needed to drink or eat something. Not realizing that it wouldn’t have mattered.
That the world is fair, that here’s good and evil, but no shades of grey.
That people in power do it for the good of the people
Big oof
Thousands of us when we were born, all probably thought the same thing.
And then we grew up, to see how ugly the world is and has been.
