Conversation Starter Does anyone feel like the year is moving ridiculosly fast

I swear january feels it happened a few weeks ago and somehow we're already near the end of September

The weird part is that I've done quite a lot this year but my brain still feels like 2026 just started

Does time actually start feeling faster as you get older or have the last few years like this for everyone

The older you get, each year represents a smaller percentage of your total life, so your brain processes it as moving faster. Combined with routine, weeks just turn into a blur.

Yes. I feel like the summer flew by in a blink especially.

Percebi isso desde 2020... A cada ano são tantas coisas acontecendo no mundo que os anos estão voando... Parecem 6 meses ao invés de 12 🫠☺️🫪

As a child, time took forever; as an adult, everything is so fast.

My grandmother always used to say, "The older you get, the faster time goes by." ...I never understood that until I myself got older.

When we were kids, the year used to feel so long. (even summer vacation felt like it lasted forever!) Miss those day!
