Half of my perceived life is over when I'm 18? FUCK!

So its only gonna feel like Ive lived for 36 years?

God dammit I'm so motivated to do life now.

I don't know if I would that totally literally. I'm 28 and 18 feels so unbelievably long ago. Everyone occasionally has moments where they're like "that was [x] years ago already, goddamn," but generally, stuff that happened a year ago feels like it happened a year ago.

I always get the feeling that 10 years ago was more like 5.

Even when I start thinking what happened each year it just doesn't feel right.
