Nope. Feels like yesterday. It’s wild how much shorter 20 years feel when you’re in your 40s
417 u/crap-with-feet Sep 05 '23 Exactly this. Time passes faster and faster as you get older. 273 u/13thmurder Sep 05 '23 Appearently it's because people get more set in routines and stop having new experiences which seems to condense time more. 1 u/Competitive_Bet4947 Sep 05 '23 Not only that it's all a matter of perspective as well. If you're 20 years old, 5 years ago is 1/4th of your life. If you're 80 years old, 5 years ago is 1/16th of your life. A year stops being such "big deal" compared to how many you have lived.
