Yep
I read an article saying that as an adult you stop doing as many unique and memorable things as an adult. It's mostly the same places, people and things. So when you go do different things and make memories, you'll have more "milestones" in your life
That’s why, in every new place I get, I strip naked and run around shouting GERONIMOOOO
But if you do it everywhere you go, it stops being unique. You're falling right into the same trap unless you occasionally shit on the floor as well.
No, you misunderstood him. He does it to help others make milestone memories.
Truly a gentleman and a scholar.
A sacrifice we need, but not one we deserve.
Uh... other way around maybe? 🤪
Is that you, GG Allin?
Ah, but that's just the same person doing the same thing.
So that was you. Thanks for covering my jibblies for me while I was running naked, they are quite disgusting.
My theory is it’s time as an overall percentage of your life affects your perception of the length of any duration.
When you are 4 years old, a year is an entire quarter of your life. That’s a long time. When you are 50, a year is only 2 percent of your entire life.
This is why when I was a kid being grounded for a week was like an eternity. And also I feel like I would get bored a lot and didn’t know what to do with my time. Now it’s like there’s not enough time in the day. And I’d rather just go take a nap than find something else to do.
Could you imagine getting grounded from work for a week? That would be fantastic.
I bet I could get grounded from work for the rest of my life.
As a child then every year is purposefully pointed out. School education years, birthdays, clothes for your age, siblings being older/younger.
As an adult when you stop paying careful attention then time all merges into one mass. Age doesn't really matter much and certainly isn't pushed in your face constantly. It's easy to keep doing repetitive things at work and home and before you know it then another 4 years go by without you keeping track. I did a job with a very extended period of postgraduate training (10 years). Then again there was a constant interest in your year of training and what stage you are at. Even other events in life are better bookmarked (that happened when I was in year 5 of my training).
If you're more mindful of the time, then it seems to pass more slowly and is better delineated.
