2019 to 2024 felt way faster than 2014 to 2019, amirite?

The year 2020 felt so so long, and 2021's first few months were slow as well but since then time has flew by at the speed of light.

I feel exactly the same way -- it hasn't even slowed back down with the pandemic "ending"; it got even faster.

Contrarily the COVID times and isolations were the absolutely fastest to me. Next to no memory of a year or two there; it flew by so fast while everyone was at home.

Basically 2020 and 2021 kinda felt like a fever dream which passed by like it never happened but at the same time did. So maybe that's why.

Yeah, those years felt weird and unreal.

Time feels shorter as you get older. 5 years when you're 15-20 is a quarter of your life, 5 years from 20-25 is a fifth.

That is actually true. Life passes you by so fast it's incredible. It's overwhelming to think about

And as you get older, the more you understand mortality, and the value of life, which makes it that much tougher to deal with.

My bad, what he said is right, but his explanation isn't. Vsauce made a video on this

They mean that your perception of time is relative to how long you've been alive. When you're 10 years old, a year feels like such a long time because it is 1/10th of your life. At 30, time seems to pass more quickly because a year is a much smaller percentage of total time lived. Life experience changes your perception of time.

It definitely is, your childhood is nothing but feeling like an eternity waiting until your adulthood, and then adulthood is every once in a while "oh a decade has passed, I didn't notice".

Yep. Time's funny. And then you're in your 40s , being told that older people are uncool by someone in shrek crocs. They just don't understand we were their age, at music festivals, like cutting edge stuff that shaped today, but time happened.

This continues forever and only gets more horrifying the older you get. In the 90s, the 60s felt like centuries ago, and now the 90s are just as far back as the 60s were then.

Each year of your life that passes is a smaller percentage of your total years lived, so it's normal to feel like years are going by faster as you get older

by Anonymous 1 week ago

because we know that the way we measure time is a concept we made up the theory that the fibonacci sequence is how time actually runs could explain why we feel that every year goes by quicker than the last

by Moorekirstin 1 week ago

It probably depends on how old you are.

by Unfair_Swim588 1 week ago

Its because you got older and the older you get, the shorter a year feels, because it takes less and less percentage of your entire lifespan

by Haven42 1 week ago

"Long days, short years" is how a friend of mine's grandfather put it. It keeps happening, time keeps speeding up, a year keeps getting shorter and shorter.

by Proper-Climate-8148 1 week ago

That's because we're all older now and time goes by faster the older you get. I miss when time moved more slowly when I was a little kid.

by armando71 1 week ago

It felt like instant and 10 years at the same time, versus 2014-19 feeling like forever.

by kassandra87 1 week ago

As you get older your brain gets better at compressing information, so time will feel faster and faster the older you get.

by Anonymous 1 week ago

Agree. 2020-23 felt like a year to me at least. The first half is me being stuck at home and the second half is me finally getting outside, however with that very weird vibe to it that I can't really explain yet.

As you get older each year of your life is less of your total life and likely more repetitious too.

This is just what happens as you age. the first five years of your life was %100 of your life, the last five years will likely be only 5% of your life.

I personally have been perpetually in a recovery state since the pandemic. A good portion of progress I had made in life was crushed in the mid part of 21, and since then time just disappeared in my plight to repair the damages. I'd imagine many people are in the same situation or worse which makes sense for the quick passage of time. Before the pandemic the general public wasn't in a constant state of fighting for survival which is why it probably felt slower.
