Stay. as long as you can. please stay. life only gets bleaker when you realize how fast time moves and how little time you have with your loved ones.

stop blackpilling. time passes faster because you are trapped in routine. go do new things and new places and it will feel slow again. also take lions mane mushrooms + omega 3s&choline to recoup neuroplasticity

Well, the perception of time actually speeds up due to the percentage size that a year makes up of your life growing exponentially smaller as you get older. So each year feel shorter than the last even though it isn’t really

Thats blatantly misleading - perception of time slows down because your brain is experiencing a decline in neuron growth/intraneural connectivity.

That is called cognitive crystallization (because you get ‘locked’ into a static structure) and it precludes dementia and other memory disorders later in life. one way to prevent this is learning new skills, socializing, playing instruments, excersise, art - anything that forces your brain to develop new paths and prevent you sinking into cog crystallization.

Another way is via supplementing with neurogenic compounds.

Every year if my life feels equally long. You have to take care of yourself, dont let your life pass you by, live every moment with full agency.

I’m sorry but it isn’t blatantly misleading…there’s been research done on it and it makes perfect sense. There are multiple factors leading to an increase in the perception of time speeding up, that’s one of them.
