And I don't mean things you previously had no strong opinion about.

What is a belief you used to hold that you no longer do, and what/who made you change your mind about it?

I often think that we just happen to live in very large communities that are more or less the same as they've been throughout the history of our entire species. It's made me feel a lot more connected to everyone around me because they don't feel like strangers anymore, they feel like extended family, in a way.

But I still love flipping people off, I just don't mean much by it. Like a gesture that says 'wtf are you doing you idiot'

I used to (love flipping people off) but the older I've gotten the less 'good' it feels. Partly because, as you get older, you develop a really good thick hide that things slide off of more easily - I mean nothing really bothers me the way it used to. That's one benefit of getting older.
