Sort of.

Horrific is always happening, though.

Oh yeah, for sure. But it’s easier for me to look at current events as…well, “current”. But things that happened in the past always seem much more distant to me than they actually are. Take Princess Diana’s death, for example. I usually, subconsciously think of her death as happening long ago, like the 60’s or 70’s or something, when the reality is she died less than a year before I was born.

Past events just mess with my sense of time, I guess

I was in university then. Somehow I got it in my head that she and Mother Theresa died the same day. Nope.
