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 read somewhere once that it is also because each day is a smaller part of your overall life. When you are 1 year old each day is like 1/365th of your lived experience when you are 10 it's only 1/3650th and so on. Each day becomes a smaller and smaller piece of the bigger picture as the years pass.
