okay i can DEFINITELY agree with you about 2012, shit's been super fucking weird since SPECIFICALLY that year.

the worst day of my life was December 22nd 2012 and I remember it very clearly because I couldn't figure out WHY.

I just felt awful to a degree i have NEVER felt before or ever again since. Not even once. Not even a little.

It was a distinct watershed moment that divided my entire life into "before" and "after".
I figured it was just some freak hormonal imbalance that walloped me out of nowhere but it's weird that that was the only time and that it coincided with such a distinct ... difference in how the world was between 'before that' and 'after that'.

now, the higgs boson event was on a different date, certainly, but that day... i will never be able to forget it.
