The weekends still go by fast.

Now the weeks fly by too.

That reminds me. No one fully explained just how fast time goes by as an adult. I remember sitting in the classroom staring at the clock, waiting for 3:00pm. Monday to Friday was an eternity.
That's because our perception of time is logarithmic. When you were 5 a year was a fifth of your life. Now it feels like a year was last week sometime.

Exactly. I've explained this concept to my kids. Hopefully they take it to heart.


As I've been saying, it took 21 years to reach 21. To reach another couple of decades (maybe more), it's taken about 5 years.
