You are experiencing history before anyone knows which parts will be considered historical.

Nobody living through a significant period knows which parts of it will be remembered. The famous events were ordinary news at the time, mixed in with everything else, and the things that later look decisive were rarely the ones that felt urgent. You are inside that same fog now.

Without trying to identify what matters, it is worth keeping some record. A few lines about the ordinary conditions of your life, what things cost, what everyone was talking about. It costs nothing and it is the kind of detail that becomes unavailable and precious very quickly.
