I used to think Santa Claus was real
I used to believe in the tooth fairy
I used to want to be older because I thought it would be awesome.

As I child, I believed in far too many things that have proven to be untrue. The young mind can be easily manipulated with little to no effort. I believe it is the perceptions that we gain through media and the like.
When I was a child, I actually believed in Santa Claus. I believed he existed and it stayed like that till I was probably about 9 or 10 (late I know). I just thought about logic I guess. I figured it out all on my own. I just question why was the idea made up anyway. It didn’t really bother me much. Except for the fact that I can ruin other children’s childhoods by stating Santa isn’t real. I find it funny.
The tooth fairy probably was one of the things that I believed was real for quite some time. I enjoyed getting a dollar for every tooth that fell out. I caught my mother in the act though because I woke up in the middle of the night. Therefore I stopped believing. I also just simply figured out the fact that a dollar really isn’t worth much anymore.
I am pretty sure that I wasn’t the only child that thought being older was going to be awesome. Well I’m 18 now, and I finally realized that it is terrible, difficult, and not fun at all. But hey it isn’t all-bad. I am okay right now but not awesome.
There are several other things that many people believe in but are proven to be untrue. However, that would be for another debate.
