the other way to look at how time seems to speed up as you age is that your
perception of time is defined by meaningful experiences. in general, the spaces
between each experience feels ephemeral, because you dont have many lasting
memories to define them by, kind of like filler episodes in an anime. the more
meaningful experiences you have though, the more markers you have to distinguish
each block of filler space, which makes everything feel longer. as a young
child, you're bombarded with special and formative experiences. throughout grade
school, those experiences slowly decrease (generally), until the tail end of
senior year. they spike up again through college and then usually slow down
again for the rest of your life.

think if you believe that, that's quite sad and it gives off huge "peaked in
