They never tell you what you need to know.
I know as you age two things happen - time goes much quicker and your life may come more repetitive which makes time go even quicker. I still am trying to grasp why since March 2020 (COVID) it seems like life is just stuck on fast forward.
I think a big part of “my” problem is work. Since COVID we (as many others too) have been short staffed, job duties have shifted/changed and we just went with it and learned how to run a business lean and every waking moment at work (and a lot of off hours too) are doing strictly “work.” Not enough time to take that 15 minutes 2-3 times a day reading the news or running a quick personal errand.
Most people love making money but when you have no time to spend it…
Anyone else feel that way?

Might just be a fancy way to say "shit happens, sometimes your brain will try to forget."
Personally, some part of me feels like 5- to 8-ish whole epochs have come and gone since 2020. The tectonic shift seems to start buckling around 2016- an old "normal" had come and gone in that year.
Simultaneously, mind's been fuzzy on recalling certain details since 2020. Maybe a little sensory overload, so my brain pared back a bit.
Another example - look how many people now work from home at least for part of their work week. When does the work day start and end when you work from home? It never ends for many.
It is all still better than my last W-2 position. I dreaded Mondays and was truly unable to enjoy all the money I was making. Fuck working for "the Street."
