Each additional decade of age seems half as long as the previous one was.

0-10 took forever

10-20 took 20 years

20-30 took 10 years

30-40 took 5 years

I'm 40 and it feels like 50 is next year already.

Uff... I felt this.

This is for you. From another comment

Ffuuuuuccckkkk meeeeee

WHY did you make me realize this?

[–] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 9 points 1 year ago

That makes sense based on your perception of time. 0-10 was your whole life doubling, over and over. 10-20, your life doubled. 20-30 your life will increase 33%. And so on.

This is a rough one.
