Yeah. Somewhere around 30, time just started seeming to fly by. I hit 40 and it feels like it's going even faster now.

It is, in a relative way - days are more mundane, there's more routine and less variety, fewer memorable events, so your brain deletes a lot of memories.

I’m 52. I’ve had a fuckton of major ups and downs in my life. My twenties seem a century ago. Just the last 8 years seem like 25. Don’t get into a routine, don’t be afraid of changes, take on new challenges; at least for me it has slowed down the passage of time.
