Follow Up on Time

Ok, so total coincidence that I wrote a post about feeling older and then one of my favorite Youtube personalities posts a video that sums up EXACTLY what I've been feeling. I cried I was laughing so hard because it was so spot on.

When You Realize Time Is Passing

Lately Jeff and I have been having lots of "how did we get this old?" moments,  which then everyone older than us laughs and says "you know nothing." And I totally agree. We aren't old at all. But still every once-in-awhile something happens and we stop and say "WHAT?!"

So a rephrase would be lately we've been having "time is moving faster than we realized" moments. These moments include, but aren't limited to:


  • Songs that were top 40 songs during high school are now played during the "flashback" segment of the top 40 station
  • The radio station I now listen to the most plays more songs from 5-10 years ago than songs from today. We had a serious epiphany when we realized that there is now a "2K" station (that's the cool way of saying 90s and first ten years of 2000) just like our parents have the 80's station.
  • I recently got my first injury that wouldn't go away and actually have a physical therapy appointment for it on Friday. Now since I've never broken a bone, sprained anything, or banged myself up enough to need more than time to make it heal, I'm long overdue. But it was still weird to get hurt and it not get better in three days.
  • Jeff just said to me "The actors in Harry Potter are starting to look young" as he watched the fifth movie
  • I dont get carded. 
  • This year is the first time we've used the AC and heat without worrying about the bill. We literally had a "is the heat a luxury or now just a normal thing" conversation a few weeks ago, where Jeff promptly told me to stop being silly and turned it up.
  • Jeff discovered that SNICK now plays things like Friends and Full House, because in our minds SNICK is for shows like The Munsters and Addam's Family.
