That doesn’t seem right, I don’t even remember the first 3 years
I think that this chart shows the general perception of 1 year of life at any age. So, when you were 3 years old 1 year of your life was literally 1/3, which is a significant value. When you are 50 1 year equals to only about 2% percents of your whole life, which makes even 10 years look not so long.
I don’t think that perception holds particularly true past your formative years. For all the usual feeling of time flying, my 30s don’t seem to be going faster than my 20s.
Maybe when I get a good midlife crisis I’ll change my mind, but at least I’ll have a sick tattoo and a Porsche
The four years I spent in high school still feel like the longest chunk of my life so far, and i was married for ten years…
I think I’ve found that my perception of time is very tied to how much changes and how many experiences feel new. Going through puberty again in my 30s has stretched out the perception a fuck ton, it feels like time passes at like 3 times the rate of my 20s. Getting adequate sleep does too.
