Sometimes when I stare at certain years written out, like 2001, 2009, etc, it makes me feel really strange... Like I remember these years so clearly, and the music and media that came from them, but it feels like it was yesterday. Right now it's 2009; I was 16, finishing school, starting college, partying with friends. It's happier feelings, memories and associations than a year like 2001/2002.
It sometimes feels like there's a disconnect between body and mind, like my brain knows it's 2025, but when it thinks about years in the past, they seem like yesterdau but they're 15-25 years ago, and I get that sinking feeling in my heart and stomach, like my body just cannot comprehend that despite the fact I've gone from childhood/teenagehood to full-on adulthood in that timeframe. Does anyone else feel this way?
I'll probably end up writing a page up about this and how my body reacts to nostalgia at some point. It's a specifically strange experience I get and I've yet to meet anyone else who gets something similar lol. It only started once I got to my 30s
