The things you don’t realize are a huge deal at the time. Later, you look back into the pre-Internet, pre-news at fingertip, and come to terms with: whoa…I knew this was a big deal, but even at age 12, my current self wants to think that if I had better access to news and time travel, I would have…DONE something.
