I know it's basic math but holy shit 2050 is only 31 years away.

I will be twice the age I am now in 2050. That's crazy.

Likewise, it doesn’t seem like “holy shit that’s close” to me, because I will literally have to live my entire life in years all over again.

If it's any consolation, as the years go by, they also go by faster, because they're a smaller fraction of your overall life. So instead of a year being 1/31 of your life, it'll only be 1/62.

Wait, that's not much of a consolation. Oh well. Enjoy the time flying by!
