I get that time can change depending on where you are in the world; however, I feel I have less of an understanding of time being relative after diving deeper into it.

Youre not going to get a detailed answer here as it’s something that would require a deeper understanding of a bunch of other stuff about physics.
I’m not a physicist but this is how it was explained to me and it made sense.
Light doesn’t have mass, so it travels through a vacuum at the rate of causality (as things happen).
Imagine a person looking at a star. If you were a photon of light leaving the surface of that star then to you no time would pass between leaving the star and hitting the persons eye.
Star/eye in an instant.
Time is can only be measured in relation to which other things happen, with causality as the only constant of which things are “happening”.
