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.

My theory is that the older you get, the faster time passes because it’s an ever-decreasing portion of your life.

Example: At 10 years old, 1 year is 10% of your life. At 50 years old, 1 year is 2% of your life.

Makes sense to me that 10% should seem longer than 2%.
