What things did you believe to be true as a kid, that you wish were actually true as an adult?

One thing I thought to be very true, but in the opposite I found out to be false (but wouldn’t WANT it true however) , is that “they” know. Everyone out there just knows more than you. Coming from a sadistic household, that was what was shoved on me daily. I spent half of my life thinking EVERYONE just is better than me and knows. Now I’m only STARTING to see, it just isn’t true.
