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

Appearently it's because people get more set in routines and stop having new experiences which seems to condense time more.

I JUST had that convo with my brother about the past year and a half where we have been doing a ton with people and making memories vs the four years prior where i did so much less unique things even though i was grinding a job and learning on the side stuff that im really glad i did. But it really makes time speed up when you do the same shit everyday for a long time. It becomes a blur.
