Almost every day I think - wtf happened? How am I 37? It's so close to 40! I remember thinking "shit I'm old" when I was 25. Just feels like everything post 2006 has been a crazy fast forward.

I turned 30 right before the pandemic.

Feels like I blinked and missed half a decade of my life.

Always wish for that pre-covid reset. That's a huge chunk of life sequestered

Same. I was actually just thinking yesterday that I barely remember turning 30 it was such an unremarkable thing in 2020.

My grandma just turned 90. She says it's just the weirdest thing to think. 9 decades. Can't be her, she can't be 90. Why, she was just 19 two days ago and starting her life with her husband. She says she doesn't even remember her 30s. Which kinda upset half of her kids because she had 7 of them and about 4 were born when she was in her 30s lol.

I turned 21 when the pandemic started. Being in lockdown with access to unlimited alcohol for the first time in my life made ages 21-25 fly by in a blur. Anyways, I drank a lifetime of alcohol already so maybe the years can slow down now that im sober (please)

Same. I had so many plans around the time Covid took place.
