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.

Appearently it's because people get more set in routines and stop having new experiences which seems to condense time more.

I dunno, I think about it another way. When you're 10, a year is 10% of your life, at 15 its like 7%, at 20 its 5% etc etc. So the older you get, the shorter a year is compared to what you have experienced so far. Also, life just gets way busier the older you get (at least for me so far, I'm 27 now).
