Yes, this. Before my mid-20s, I thought it was just something people said about aging and not an actual phenomenon, but then I started to notice it actually happening. I realized, when you are say, five years old, a year represents a fifth of your life, but at 25, it's a 25th of your life, so maybe it makes sense that years seem shorter the older you get, because they are ever-smaller fractions of your lifespan. Or maybe that's just a bullshit rationalization? I don't know. All I know is that it seems to be a real thing and it just keeps getting worse the older I get.

> It seems to pass faster as you get older.

I equate this to each year being a smaller period of your overall time. When you turned 5 a year was 20% of your life, at 50 it is 2%. Perceptually that is huge.

its more then that i feel. sometimes, suddenly n month/years have passed before you realize it. its like... it feels something just happened... but its already been 5+ yrs.

for me personally its mostly about routine i think. time just looses its meaning while doing the daily grind.

but honestly, the article spoke about it better then i ever could :)
