Does time legit flow differently personally and individually for you when you dread an oncoming event vs when you are excited for it? (lemmy.world)

I just turned 20 last week (I just remembered it was actually 2 weeks ago but this kinda illustrates my point) and the days and weeks leading up to my birthday went by just as fast as every other day because birthdays just aren't that special anymore (I now have money to just buy myself the stuff I want, after all). As a kid, it felt like an eternity waiting for my birthday. I woke up everday counting how often I'll have to sleep/go to school until my birthday finally comes. Now I look at my phone and I'm like "Oh, my birthday's tomorrow already. Totally forgot about it."
