Man I remember as a kid, Christmas week felt like it took forever. The anxiety and excitement kept me up all night. That all died out as I got older though.
Same with school. The dread of school made it seem like I spent ages at school. I remember dreaming of the day I would turn 18 and be done with school. That felt so, so far away.
These days time flies so damned fast, I can hardly remember my 20s and my 30s are just a blur.
I just turned 20 last week (I just remembered it was actually 2 weeks ago but this kinda illustrates my point) and the days and weeks leading up to my birthday went by just as fast as every other day because birthdays just aren’t that special anymore (I now have money to just buy myself the stuff I want, after all). As a kid, it felt like an eternity waiting for my birthday. I woke up everday counting how often I’ll have to sleep/go to school until my birthday finally comes. Now I look at my phone and I’m like “Oh, my birthday’s tomorrow already. Totally forgot about it.”

I’ve been having a bit of an existential crisis lately with how fast time seems to be passing.
