Hello everybody, I'm Gemma Spike and welcome back to the Psychology of Your Twenties, the podcast where we talk through the biggest changes, moments, and transitions of our 20s and what they mean for our psychology.
Hello everybody, welcome back to the show, welcome back to the podcast. It is so great to have you here back for another episode as we of course break down the psychology of our 20s. Today we are talking about time, specifically why it seems to move so much faster as we get older, and why the months just seem to be shorter and shorter. Every single year. I want you to think back for a second to being a kid And to being a kid in summer, like those summers used to feel absolutely endless. You'd go back to school and it felt like a lifetime had passed. Three months felt like eternity. Every six months you felt like you were a new person. Compare that to now where An entire year can go by and you will swear it's been a couple of weeks.
Where did that endless feeling kind of go? Where did it disappear to? I think a lot of us can point to a very specific moment where our relationship with time kind of broke, and that's probably during COVID. Suddenly our days had no shape. There was no commute, no plans, no real distinction between a Tuesday and a Saturday. And for For a lot of us, especially anyone who was a teenager or in their early twenties at the time.
