It’s like how on days when you’re sick or depressed, you think that life is always like this, and you can’t remember what it’s like to feel happy or healthy, and then a week later when you’re happy and healthy, it feels like you’ve always been that way.
Can confirm. I call it the “Valley of Fog” effect—either you’re in the valley (sickness, pandemic) among the sharp rocks and rough terrain and you can’t see the sun (happiness, wellness, bustling streets), or you’re above the valley and can’t see the sharp rocks through all the fog. You remember that things used to be bad but you forget the feelings attached to it.
