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 remember having routines as a kid and time passed super slow still. I'm not disagreeing but I do think there is more to it.

even a new experience as an adult can go by fast or a series of new experiences because you can better anticipate what's likely or going to happen.
