I read an article saying that as an adult you stop doing as many unique and memorable things as an adult. It’s mostly the same places, people and things. So when you go do different things and make memories, you’ll have more “milestones” in your life
My theory is it’s time as an overall percentage of your life affects your perception of the length of any duration.
When you are 4 years old, a year is an entire quarter of your life. That’s a long time. When you are 50, a year is only 2 percent of your entire life.
This is why when I was a kid being grounded for a week was like an eternity. And also I feel like I would get bored a lot and didn’t know what to do with my time. Now it’s like there’s not enough time in the day. And I’d rather just go take a nap than find something else to do.
Yep

That’s why, in every new place I get, I strip naked and run around shouting GERONIMOOOO
But if you do it everywhere you go, it stops being unique. You’re falling right into the same trap unless you occasionally shit on the floor as well.
Ah, but that’s just the same person doing the same thing.
So that was you. Thanks for covering my jibblies for me while I was running naked, they are quite disgusting.

Could you imagine getting grounded from work for a week? That would be fantastic.
I bet I could get grounded from work for the rest of my life.
