To be honest: Realising that time is going by so fast really scared me this week. Being mid-30s I really need to get my shit together, soon... :-D
Spoiler: nobody ever gets their shit together
There's a quote from Sarah Manguso's _300 Arguments_ that I love:
> With great and solemn portent, my teacher announced she would tell us something that her teacher had told her, and that her teacher’s teacher had told him, and so on, back to Yeats: The thing to remember is that no one ever finds out that you don’t know what you’re doing.

Coming up on 40. A quarter feels about as long as two weeks did when I was 10, I reckon.
If this keeps going, each year will feel like a day by the time I'm 60 or so.
[EDIT] Incidentally, I reject the "routine & boredom are what do it" thing. High school felt like it took forever and was far more regimented and regular and boring than my life is now.
I think it is the brain’s compression algorithm that does it.
