Those teenage years feel like an eternity at the time and I STILL remember lots of that nonsense much more vividly than the stuff that happened in the last 10 years (I'm 33 now). Speaking as someone of early middle-age, 6-8 years feels like nothing now, and yet at the time it felt like each individual day was a month.

But here's why this is a brutal timepill: I have the theory that as you age, your cognitive function declines so eventually you literally don't perceive time as well.

It's not that life has necessarily gotten more boring (though it probably has for 99% of people at that point), your brain is just decomposing from aging so you literally don't retain memories as well. The reason time passes so slowly when you're younger is that you're short and medium term context memory is very strong, so when you have to stay put for an hour, you remember all the moments from that hour. But now at 33, hours just fly by like minutes...

And it will only get worse.

In a way, it could be argued that humans live for much shorter than 80 years because you only remember like 25% of it...
