    I dunno man I’ve done a lot of living in those years. Turn 50 this year and still going strong. On a week long camping trip that we just got set up at 11 pm. Can’t wait to hit the lake tomorrow.

      I think what makes time really fly is boredom. Not necessarily like, waiting for a train or whatever, but more like “I do the same thing every day” exhaustion with life. The past couple of years have flown by for me but it’s 100% because I don’t like my current job and I don’t do a lot else recently. The more I like my 9-5, and the more the rest of my life excites me, the more memories I get and the longer time seems to take to pass.

      It’s no surprise that for most people this happens in your late teens/early 20s, you’re meeting new people all the time, you maybe go to university, you go to parties, and so on. If you stop doing that as you get older and don’t start anything else its inevitable that time will just start to get away from you.
