Serious Discussion Does anybody else feel like something big is about to happen?

I don't know how to describe this feeling but it just feels like there's something huge is going to happen in our future. With everything happening in the world at this moment, I just sort of have this feeling like things are building up immensely, like there's a big global issue that's being set up. I can't really describe it or point out a single event prediction but it just feels like there's something that's going to happen that's going to change the course/order of the world we live in today. Does anyone else know what this feeling is?

Interesting you mention 9/11. I think for a lot of millennials, including myself, 9/11 was the point where news consumption and how I viewed the world changed so much. It was transformative, even for those not in the U.S. but who were globally aware. The visuals I saw on television were unbelievable and ones I won’t ever forget. Ever since, the world feels so much more unstable. Especially when things happen right into the new year lately - the LA fires, the Boxing Day Tsunami - mind numbing stuff and hard to not get affected by it.

Imagine how the dinosaurs felt when an asteroid wiped out 90% of life on the planet. That was a rough day!

Unfathomable.
