What did you believe was so easy and simple when you were young?

I had decided that I would move to Santa Monica, and I went through the catalogue, picked out my furniture and everything and decided I could easily move there for $5000. I mean, why couldn't I take my pretty plates and fly there plus rent a place for that!

I think my plan was to go after I finished school at 16, because I knew American school didn't finish until 18, so I would just go to school. I didn't need a job as I'd be at school, who cared about where the money for rent would come from!

And I hated school, why would I want to do more of it!
 
I thought time and the years would last forever, but now it goes like water.

The years pass by in seconds. Blink and you will miss it, there isn't enough time.

I feel like the total opposite. Life is going slower than the last 10 minutes of high school geography.
I used to believe that playing a tune on the piano was so easy, not now though.

I can't even remember the name of the tunes I liked most.
In The Hall of the Mountain King?
A Walk in the Black Forest?
I wish I could remember what they were called, I wish I still had a piano - not that I could play anything on it!
 
It’s not necessarily about what I believed would be easy but; I used to think that when I die, I would learn everything about the history of the universe I was curious about but had no answers for. 😄

Hey you still might! Especially if you believe in eternal life.
