1. There’s someone out there for me.

2. When I was gladiator in WoW pvp, it was because I actually had skill and it wasn’t because beastcleave was a total ungabunga teamcomp.

3. That everything around me exists. There’s a theory called Boltzmann’s Brain. I think it means, it is far more likely for your mind to exist and develop its owns perspective of things that “exist” in your mind rather than all of those things existing in the same place at the same time. Sorry if that doesn’t make sense.

4. Retirement is possible in my lifetime(?)

5. That tomorrow I will be the most productive version of myself.

6. That one day I’ll meet my soul partner…

7. Not relevant to me personally anymore but we always tell kids they can be anything when they grow up and they can accomplish whatever they set their mind to. This almost certainly isn’t true for most of them, but them believing that is is probably beneficial.

8. Not a single thing, and I feel awful.

9. I don’t have to do anything of value.

12. That we are worthy of redemption. And that integrity matters.
