Great post Sarah!I've been thinking a lot recently on the effects that childhood beliefs and patterns have on us (and wishing it wasn't so).I used to be a big fan of the avoiding-the-cracks-on-the-sidewalk game too! I'm afraid that now, in my old age, I have too much going on in my head to even think about the cracks I carelessly walk upon.
Great post. It is such a fascinating topic to me, particularly since I became a mother and have been able to watch Julian grow into some of the same fears and anxieties that I had as a child.A striking example was when we watched a movie about the Sun's end 5 billion years from now. When I (at 10 or 12) found this out and the repercussions of it for Earth, it used to haunt me, until my mid twenties! Without any emphasis from us, Julian picked up on the information from the documentary and made the logical leap. We would all die!However, he doesn't understand the 5 BILLION YEARS part, and so he would often ask me things like "Is Christmas going to come before the Sun explodes?"
