abe lincoln: rail splitter, fashion forward.

i went through a box of not-so-old things tonight.

then i was thinking about grammar, because that is a thing people do:

In English, the present perfect is a present-tense use of the perfect, which means that it is used to refer to a subject's past actions or states while keeping the subject in a present state of reference or in a present state of mind...In other words, the subject is in a current state (now), and a past action that the subject has done or a past state that the subject has been in, is being referred to from the current state of the subject, which is the present time. This differs from the simple past tense, i.e., "I went to the cinema", which implies only that an action happened, with the action having no relevance at all to the present.

for example:

"i have felt many things."
