When you're in your teens and early 20s there sesms to be so much ahead of you...

20 years later you're looking back saying where did all that time go?

Do you have kids...

It's when you have kids.

Life before kids felt like it was moving at a snail's pace. Once that first one popped out, it got faster. Three kids later it's blowing by. Months feel like weeks, days feel like months. Hard to explain.

Divorce after kids. Got married early 30s, and would not ever, ever, repeat if it wasn't for kids. The rest of my life will be spent dealing with my ex-wife. And I'll always be the bad guy.

I find solace in the stupidity of TD, which is additionally depressing.

It’s steadily speeding up. 61 last week and I don’t know how it went so quick. But I just enjoy every day and make the most of it. Not sitting in the porch either. Not all the time anyway. lol.

Im 37 and it seemed like things really started picking up steam right at 30 to me.

Part of it may be because thats when my heart conditions started picking up more steam and I was looking at some pretty serious surgeries in the future.

Im married with 3 kids now and it is absolutely blowing by.

Crossed the halfway mark of my expected lifespan last year. One foot in the grave. Sigh. Got a lot of years to go of course but goddamn did those first 37 fly by.

I still have vivid memories of certain moments of my life even as far back as elementary school. Like it just happened yesterday.

I'll be playing an old game or watching something from the 90s with my kids and I catch myself saying something like "I haven't seen this in 30 years." I always do a double-take when I hear myself say that. Doesn't feel real.

65. About five years after the kids were out of the house and had lives/places of their own. I do make a concerted effort to tell them to enjoy every day and that it's the little things in life that bring the most happiness/joy. My gosh but it has flown by....

I’ll be 45 this year. Even though it sounds silly I am in every day counts mode. To think I am only 10-15 years from 55-60 is mind blowing to me.

I'm 71 and it really hit me when I turned 60.
One bit of advice to you younger guys. Start taking care of your body. Get good exercise and clean up your diet, Your older self will thank your much younger self.

Early 30s I started noticing how fast things were moving.
