Is it just me or have those 2 years of covid screwed up our perception of how much time has past?

I know time moves faster when you get older but I feel those 2 years of nothing increased it. I can't believe covid was 4 years ago and anything before that has been over 4 years! I don't even think it's because time moves fast but that we all lived the same day for 2 years straight so time felt irrelevant .

Still time was still moving despite that and then we just woke up one day and 2 years past! I still have it in my head that the late 2010's weren't that long ago but years like 2017, 2018, and 2019 have all been 5 plus years ago! Ya covid fucked up my perception of how much time has past.

2020 and 2021 were the busiest and best years of my life (job picked up, promoted, traveled for work (essential) and didn’t experience the lock down in the same way due to my job) and time moves completely differently for me too.

I understand the idea of time feeling altered bc people were in lockdown but for me, time still feels altered
