How old are you, TC? I only ask because the passing of time is somewhat relative to your age. Young people think time passes slower than older people think it passes. When you're a young child, time seems to pass really slowly. The older you get, the faster time seems to pass by.

It makes sense why that is too. When you're 10 years old, one year is literally 1/10 of your total life experiences. Conversely, for a 40 year old person, one year is 1/40 of the total life experiences. 1/40 is a much smaller fraction than 1/10, so a year seems significantly smaller to the 40 year old than to the 10 year old.

I am turning 40 years old next year. I can definitely tell that time seems to pass by faster and faster the older I get. My 20s flew by. My 30s flew by even faster. I dread to think how fast my 40s why fly by.
