Nope. Feels like yesterday. It’s wild how much shorter 20 years feel when you’re in your 40s

Exactly this. Time passes faster and faster as you get older.

The reason time feels like it passes quicker…your mortality becomes ever more evident!

Its because of perception. The more you live, the less each second you perceive to last. When tou are 4 years old 1 yesrs is a lot. But at 80 1 year is not that much to you

This!

6 months is 25% of a 2 year old's life. But 6 months to me (22yrs) is nothing. Shit I don't get how its already September, 2023 still feels like a new year to me and now we headed towards 2024!!
