Topics about which I’ve changed my mind. Well, off the top of my head there are bunch that I can think of. On closer inspection though, are some of them more as though I convinced myself that something was true only because the reality didn’t appeal to me? I’ll explain along the way.
- I once believed that I would always be alone, romantically speaking. Jen proved me wrong and changed my mind. I am extremely pleased to have been wrong about this one. My question though is, did I really believe I was going to always be alone or did I just convince myself that was the case because it was safer to believe it than to ponder the reasons behind it? Something like that at least.
- I once believed that I didn’t want kids. Harry and Bellana changed my mind. I don’t have kids of my own, but if you search through the history of this little personal blog you’ll find a few thousand posts where I mention that I can’t possibly imagine loving kids more than I love my step kids. I have to assume it’s possible, but I feel like to do so would result in your head exploding. Again, I was very happy to have my mind changed on this subject. Also, I may never have truly believed this one but instead convinced myself that it was the case to avoid being hurt by the reality. I don’t know and I don’t care. I am very happy with how things turned out.
- I used to think that fascism was a historical movement with no connection to current reality. Boy was I wrong about that. Consider my mind changed.
- I used to think that god might be an actual thing. Those days are over. Mind: changed.
- I used to think that given the choice between traveling to San Diego or Los Angeles the correct choice would be Los Angeles. Now all I want is to go back to San Diego and then never leave.
- I used to hate country music with the furious passion of a thousand burning suns. I still do. I’ll never change my mind about that one. That one is fundamental to my being.
There you have it. A few topics upon which I have changed my tiny little mind.

Not only I changed my mind about the integrity of US politicians. I’m disgusted with what is going on.

Even though you’re in SoCal, given you’re stance on country music, I’m guessing you’ve never been to the Buck Owens Crystal Place in Bakersfield. If a bar with a full-size Cadillac hanging on the wall won’t change your mind, then certainly nothing will 🙂

I actually live in Massachusetts, the last place in the US to hold out against country music.
