      It’s so wild to me that Nirvana is old, that I’m old.

      I heard the older folks say that I would wake up and be old one day and it would feel like barely any time has passed. “Young people will treat you like a dinosaur and you’ll still think you’re 25.”

      I just can’t believe it.

      Time has slipped through my fingers. Everything I put off a week ago was actually thousands of years ago now.

      30-40 has been a month or so.

        I’m almost 60 and I feel more like I should be 100 or so. I’ve had many different careers and technology has changed so much that I feel I’ve lived through multiple lifetimes. I think people who do basically the same thing every day (and night) over and over again, with the same people, tend to perceive life as flying by because there’s no real difference between one day and the next.
