      Funny how time works.

      • 1995 was ten years ago.
      • 1997 was three years ago.
      • Every year of the 80s was 20 years ago.
      • 2010 was 10 years ago.
      • 2016 was two years ago.
      • 2018 was two years ago.
      • 2019 was one year ago.
      • 2020 lasted for six years, but ended three months into the year.
      • 2021-2022 didn’t happen.
      • 2023 ended just a few weeks ago.
      • 2024 still hasn’t ended. We also invented time travel. Consequently:
      • 2025 apparently started in the 1960s, and rapidly progressing towards the 1940s.

      Since this was true when I was in primary school, it’ll always be seared into my brain. I mean, I realized this when I was learning to count and spell, of course it’s saved as one of the most basic facts of life. Like, 4+4=8, 90s are 10 years ago 70s are 30 years ago etc was stuff learned at the same time, so it’s like it’s saved in a similar way.
