    How fast time passes. Years pass very quickly now and the view of the end is approaching faster than I would like.

      You didn’t ask for advice, but please consider journaling or writing a personal blog. I find that the time passes faster because I have fewer novel experiences as I get older. If I put a dedicated effort into remembering what was unique about my recent days, it feels like I live more of them.

        Yeah I’m guessing this has to be why time feels to pass faster. When you’re growing, there are so many milestones and rapid changes from ages 0 to maybe 22. Beyond that, everything is the same until you die. That’s an interesting way to make it longer.

      Each time period (week, year etc) is a smaller proportion of your life.

      Anything that happened when I was much younger can’t be resolved easily to the nearest year, unless I can identify a specific immutable event like a specific birthday.
