body functions

I used to think I could read peoples minds because I always knew what card they were going to choose from a deck. As I got older I realized that I was sub-consciously calculating the most likely choice of that person.

I used to think that when I got mad I would get stronger, similar to the Hulk from Marvel comics, because when some one made me mad I would some times pick them up off the ground. I later realized it was only an adrenaline rush.

I used to believe…

When I was little, I believed that if I closed my eyes and crossed my legs, I could levitate. I still remember though as if it were yesterday, and I am 15 now. I felt weightlessness whenever I did that, which led me to believe that I could levitate. I still wonder what would happen if I had opened my eyes.

Now that I am older, I still do not understand what happened. But something else is stirring in me, the origin of which is unknown to me. I am stronger, faster, and have a decently sharper mind than my friends. I am also tall for my age, some people mistaken me for being old enough to vote. I swear there is something different about me.

I used to believe that if u held your liquid in for too long, your bladder would explode, it wasnt until grade 4 that my teacher told me i didnt have to cry everytime i couldnt go to the bathroom during an assembly..-.-"

I used to believe…

when i was about 10, i had a blue winter coat. every morning i would run to the bus stop & fancied myself a super hero called "the blue streak" who could run as fast as lightning. all the other kids at the bus stop must've thought i was nuts.

When I was little, i always thought when you went to sleep, you would die and then come alive again...I probably got that idea when my grandma talked about hw she sleeps like a dead pig sometimes...XD

i believe that i am the keyblade master
i also believed icould control the elements

I used to believe…

When I was 10, I used to believe that I could control and talk to wind and my friend could control water. I used to "direct" the wind and I used to have conversations with the wind.

I used to believe tht if you ate a lot of beans and flapped your wings, you could "FartFly". You would fly up into the clouds and be able to go anywhere until your "gas" ran out. I even held small "classes" about FartFlying with my parents and stuff.

Sadly, I could never actually fly myself because I hated-and hate- the taste of beans.

I used to believe…

When I layed down, my ear was laying hard against the pillow, so I could hear my pulse in my ear. To me it seemed that there was a big bear stomping on a murderous rampage and was after me. So than I always put my head under the pillow while pulling it against my head alot harder to feel more comfortable, which only made the pounding sound louder and I got even more scared. I could never sleep and always was afraid, intil I was about 5 or 6.

I used to believe…

until i was about 7, i thought the human body was hollow inside like the whale in pinnochio & that when you ate food, it would tumble down your ribs & pool at the bottom of your body, where it separated into liquid & solid & came out the appropriate "exit".

I used to believe…

one of my many starange dreams was
i was sleeping and my brother came in and shot me with a pellet gun in the leg.
when i woke up and felt the warmness at my side it was my cat

I used to believe…

When I was young I used to have dreams in which I would be at home and everything felt extremely real. Then at some point I would hear an incredible thumping of footsteps coming towards me down the hallway. I would try to wake up, I would even know that I was asleep, and at some points I am positive I was halfway between dreaming and awake. Then my brain felt like it was shaking and there was alot of pressure. I would always manage to breakt out of it, but even when I was awake I could still feel my head ringing. At the time I had no idea what to think, now looking back it scares me, as I heard all that stuff about Astral Projection and the fact that evil 'spirits' are able to take over your body while it is unoccupied. I don't 100% believe that is what happened, but then again I dont know either. Also I have to quote an entry I read on page 1, about the lights.

"My belief has not been explained away by age or anything else for that matter. Since I was a child ( 40 now) When I walk, jog or drive by street lamps they will turn off. Not all of them just one or a few. This happens more frequently when I am either extremely mad/upset or happy. The time of the month has nothing to do with it & I have already contacted our Electric company to see if the street lamps were on a certain schedule etc. I also have to replace my own household lightbulbs weekly. SOOO I guess I still do believe in MY special power altho I am not sure what it is!

Jena"

That happens to me too sometimes. I just thought it was the lights the first few times, but then the same lights I passed kept flickering out or turning on. Weird.

I used to believe…

My dad has a permanent stroke so he doesn't understand when he eats he needs to wipe his mouth, so my brother told me that stuff coming out of his mouth was cancer and then i thought my dad had cancer. He also had a bowl he ate out of a lot and i got so scared to eat out of that bowl cuz i thought i'd get cancer. I called it the cancer bowl. I was scared up until i was 10 or 11 to eat out of that bowl and even know i still get grossed out eating out of that bowl.

I used to believe…

When I was ill as a child, generally a 24-hour bug or something, my mother would give me some of her "secret" medicine. It was clear and slightly sparkly, and had a very unpleasant taste, but sure enough, I tended to feel better after taking it.

Naturally, I came to believe that the "secret" medicine could cure anything, since I always got better when I took it instead of having to go to the doctor's. Therefore, if you made enough of it, you could cure everybody in the world and there wouldn't be any need for hospitals any more.

I was eleven and helping look after my brother when I finally got disillusioned. The so-called "medicine" was water with sugar and salt in it... I still don't know if it actually had any beneficial effect, or if she was just trying to trick me into feeling better.

I used to believe…

When I was five, I took a sick day from school. I was taking my temperature, and my mom happened to be doing the housework at the time and was trying to sweep under where I was sitting. She told me: "Stand up". So after that, for many years, I believed that taking my temperature required standing up.
