I can’t remember exactly which novel it was, but I know it was Travis McGee who mused that if a man makes it 80 years old, he’ll only have eighty months of May to look back on…
There’s a psychological reason why time seems to go faster as you age. When you’re five years old, a year is 20% of your life to date. When you’re fifty, a year is only 2% of your life to date.
Back in “the old days” of 2018, when most of August was still summer vacation. Seriously, one school district in my area is restarting classes on August 8.

I don’t wait for Christmas. I give — or don’t give — presents and love all year long.

Exactly how it feels. I no longer ´can’t wait for summer,´ because I know it’ll be over before it’s here.
