When I was little, nobody had told me this. I am/was kind of stupid.

I legit thought I had super powers and could see the future/unknown things. I was 7 or 8 and I would spend hours practicing my powers…I would take a card from a deck, push on my eyes until I thought I knew if it was red or black and I was convinced I was almost always right.

After lots of training, I showed my Dad. He called me stupid and told me to say the full card name. Of course I couldn’t.
