I feel like 2020-2025 went by for me way faster than 2015-2020.

Does anyone else feel this way? I don’t know if it is simply due to getting older, the nature of technology like phones changing the perception of time, or something else…

I feel the same. Am very interested to hear others say the same as it is a worrying experience, seeing a substantial part of one's life disappear in no time at all.

It's hard to say whether it was the event itself, the effect of how it changed my working life (it made me a remote worker where before I was fully in office) or as you say, just getting older. I see photos of myself taken in 2019, and I'm surprised how different I look. Aging, sure, but I just feel like 2020 changed a lot more than we think.

The point you made about aging is a good one.

I look at photos of myself in 2019 and I look much older in 2020 as well.

That’s what happens when the elites create a mass trauma event for us proles - and this is just the first one.
