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?

Many, many things.

I was an extremely pious and devout evangelical Christian, no longer am.

I was pro-life and am now solidly and rather aggressively pro-choice.

I was anti-LGBTQ, turns out I’m very queer myself.

I used to be very into guns and was one of the crazy 2A folks, now I’m much more reserved with regards to firearms.

I used to say ‘let’s glass (insert Middle East bogey man country of the day)’, but now see the nuances of the situation which are almost always that the US did something pretty damn shitty to kick the hornets nest.

There are a thousand social issues, pop culture lies, health and wellness myths, and so many more things that I’ve evolved on over the past 10 years that it’s mind boggling. I’m absolutely nothing like the person I was when I turned 30 ten years ago.
