I think the crazy coronavirus panic had a lot to do with "losing" some of those years. It was the same B.S. over and over for more than 2 years. Mostly lost time, but I did start a Substack. Still here 4 years later.
I think the expression of time is only perceived by our intellect, as we age, much faster because we start becoming more aware of the linear time frame that our society has organized. We are so obsessed with time and how we use it, that we have attempted to micromanage what we cannot fully understand, by compiling it into an organizational box. We wire ourselves into our own little matrix and place goggles over our eyes in order fill the void that we don't completely comprehend. If we are to take those "goggles" off and just live in "the moment", then we can finally experience. This is why I believe as children, life does seem like it "passes us by", because as children we are experiencing the moment, learning and molding our minds and our lives. As we get older, we forget that life is a journey of experience. Rather, we have programmed ourselves to perceive that "adulthood" is the end of learning. Thus, we stop living for the moment and experiencing. It's time to turn off the clock and just live.
Also, back on April 8, 2024, that was a wild 2 and half minute experience. I stopped my yard work and walked into my garage as well just to watch and experience the total eclipse. It was awesome!
Yeah I waited, gosh, probably 30 years to see a total eclipse with my eyes and it was freaking cloudy in San Antonio. I was pissed. Haha but I have seen two annual annular eclipses in my life and a couple of partials. But this whole experience, having like six years pass between the 2017 partial annular in 2023, it's so weird because I was in the backyard in 2017. I walk in the house and it's 23 in my mind. It's absolutely just bizarre and now I know there's strong reason for it. It's scientific.
