I used to think...
~ that people were inherently good and honest
~ I knew exactly what I wanted to do with my life
~ I'd be married with 2 kids, a house & a cocker spaniel
~ if I wasn't married, I'd at least have a house & be debt free
~ one can't be happy without a man
~ credit cards were free money
~ money=happiness
~ friendships would last a lifetime
~ only "stupid" or "weak" women were physically abused (boy was I wrong

)
~ my parents were crazy when they said "you'll understand when you're older"
