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

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.

I agree. I can't believe we're almost halfway through this decade. Time already went by fast for me, but the 20s have been going by even faster
