Time ceased to be real in late 2019.

Someone pressed pause and fast forward on the tape deck and some gears got irreparably jammed.

Honestly.

I have no idea when most events took place in the past (almost 5) years without looking it up.

The pandemic absolutely destroyed my concept of time.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Seriously. Thank you. I'm legit worried at how I struggle to place events within years anymore... It all just... Happens. And then happened already.

I can't remember who, but Somebody once told me, "The years start coming and they don't stop coming."

They also said your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb.

Memories are the junk draw of the mind. They get tossed away with no particular order, and sometimes they stick together or wear down and hard to distinguish. Every once in a while, we’ll open the drawer and nonchalantly rummage through it, but then give up because of the beautiful disaster it has become.

I try to think back to March, April, and I can't remember anything that happened during those months.

Good example for why journaling can be useful:)

That was when drag learned to play the piano!

Keep learning new things, and time will pass slower.

Speaking of, did anyone wake up Green Day?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I saw them in concert in Seattle a few weeks ago!

The Linda Lindas opened and they rocked. I wasn't even aware of Rancid and their impact on the punk rock scene so now I'm digging through their discography. Then the Smashing Pumpkins played. They played Tarantula but not Geek USA or Mayonaise for some reason. But they did play a lot of the hits. Tonight, Tonight, 1979, Disarm, Jellybelly, Zero, Bullet, Today, etc. Lots of songs that got me through trying times. Great show. Then Green Day came out and played the entirety of Dookie and American Idiot. I've listened through both more times than I care to count. In total, we were at T-Mobile Park for like six hours. It was fucking awesome.

Except for the fact that they wheeled Billie out on a California king and he snored the whole time.

Wanna feel even more depressed? Nearly ¼ of the 21^st^ century is already over.

October doesn't deserve your capitalization?

Pathetic.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

The lack of capitalization unexpectedly triggered me.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

IMO this year has actually felt comparatively longer than the last few since the C-19 lockdowns started. I actually feel like I'm late into the year, rather than having just blinked it away.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Nah this summer dragged on forever.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Every election year feels like forever.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Been a long eventful year for me, too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

For me it was just hot as balls.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

This is what happens if you do repeated things daily your subconsciousness increases and perception of time decreases

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Yeah, it feels like I blinked and it's now October already...

(2024 was and still is a heck of an year for me. I have almost climbed out of the ditch on this year. Yay!)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Nope.

Not real.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

The 21st Century is nearly 25% past us

i don't know what you've been smoking, but every day is a lifetime of men.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Oh I wish I had your perception of time

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Good, one less year of monthly tributes to my landed lord before I am freed from this dirty planet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

THANKFULLY!

Happy birthday to everyone just letting you know we're one step closer to grave!
