Is It Just Me, or Is 2026 Flying By?

[Gizmo]

Where is this year going? 🤯

The months seem to fly by faster every year. It feels like Christmas was only last month, yet somehow we're already almost halfway through the year!

One minute you're putting away the Christmas decorations, and the next you're wondering where the first six months disappeared to. At this rate, it won't be long before the Christmas ads start appearing and we're all talking about holiday shopping again.

Does anyone else feel like time speeds up the older you get, or is 2026 just hitting the fast-forward button? 🎄⏩😄

I feel the same way and that shows we are on our toes.

I feel that way too!! I know I've done a lot of things this year, but it still seems so fast, like it should still be February!

It’s going by really quickly for me. I’ve noticed the older I get the quicker the years fly by.

Was literally thinking the same thing yesterday, how is it already June?

Very been a very busy, stressful year, and it has gone so fast that I feel like my life has ended faster than it should

 

[Cedric]

Today I literally got hit that we’re halfway the year.

Ugh YES!

Every year seems to get faster and faster. It seems like a month ago we had our New Years Party

It seems like 2026 is unusually fast because we have become so busy in our daily lives. And times are passing by and we don't really observe because we are engrossed.

Yeah, it's crazy that it's about to be July. Summer is flying by.

Time always flies when older.

 

[Jimmy]

I feel like it goes faster each year. Sometimes I wish time would slow down a little.

Time always flies when older.

Bingo. Everyone has said this throughout my life, the older you get. I think the busier you stay in life, the faster it feels like life passes by, too. The more history you accumulate in your brain, the more it feels like life is speeding up.
