Yep. 55 now, and the same. A year can pass and feel like nothing. Especially the last two COVID years. Just feels like a long nap sometimes. I think it's because as we get older, our lives are not changing much. 0-10 years each year brings big changes in our physical growth, intellectual understanding of the world, literally every day brings something new. 10-20 is similar, but the pace starts to slow down. By the time you're 50, one year is pretty much the same as the another. Kids are grown or close to it, you're probably not job-hopping, you're settled in your home. Everything is routine.
