30 Relatably Random Thoughts You Definitely Had While Growing Up
The downside of watching cartoons while growing up!
Have you ever lived your whole life believing something that isn’t what you thought it would be? For example, you were today years old when you learned how something works.
Well, you understand the world with bits and pieces of knowledge from your experiences. Beyond learning in our schools and extracurricular activities, we gain insights through actual experiences, from our grandparents’ stories, and even from movies, which allow us to draw our own conclusions and have those “oh, I see!” moments. Remember the “this wasn’t taught in our schools” memes?
Another platform where we really learn something is social media, such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and more; just a scroll, and you’ll pick up a thing or two!
Nowadays, opinions and validations matter (but still be careful about the source of that information!), and if we ever encounter a statement that makes us rethink things, it’s either a funny or a silly moment.
You’ll see many of these amusing statements on Twitter that actually make sense when you think about them. Life is full of surprises, and as kids, we have always been in awe of anything and everything we see on our screens, to the point that we believe everything our TVs show us.
Here are some completely random thoughts we have all had at least once while growing up—don’t deny it because you know it’s true!

keromichellee8. Let the carrots grow, maybe?
rozzheeg9. That’s what movies say, especially when you go on trips deep into the rainforest. Always look out for signs!
kendall_chill10. Better to be prepared than never? Seriously speaking, we all hope we won’t come to a point where we’re set on fire; just prepare. It’ll come in handy one day.
