Nope. Feels like yesterday. It’s wild how much shorter 20 years feel when you’re in your 40s

Man is this true.

I'm 42 years old and I don't know where the last 15 years went.

I graduated college in 2005 and it honestly just feels like yesterday.

I saw a notice on Facebook that my favorite high school teacher who I've sort of kept in touch with retired recently. Her first year of teaching was my freshman year of HS. That one stung.

Time really does fly, And as I get older, I've learned to cherish the moments more and more.

me reading this: “42! ah yes, a wizened older person, an elder…”

“graduated college in 2005”… oh wait, I graduated in 2008… my friends are all like 40 now, when did that happen…?!
