Does anyone else have any weird beliefs about life/the universe that they know are not true/scientifically valid yet can't shake?
I have this belief that time is not linear and that everything is happening "now". I believe 3 year old me was at nursery today, 11 year old me was at school today, 20 year old me was at university today, etc just in some kind of alternate universe. It's a belief I've had for as long as I can remember. I remember when I was around 10 I really believed that I wasn't going to get any older and that the current me would just cycle through this phase of my life/age again. Obviously I know it's not true but it's a belief I can't fully shake and it still clouds my perspective on life. For example, today I walked past my old primary school and admired the blossom trees outside and I wonder if my child self looked up at them and admired them "today", too.
