My memories don't feel like they happened a week ago or a month ago. They're just all there, waiting timelessly. A book from now and a book from the 1500s don't feel different distances from you if they're both in a library

When I am old, I imagine my memories of my life feeling similar. All there, like they happened yesterday, and unreachably far away.

But that's how the past is. No matter how recent it was, you can't go back.
