Your Brain Is Deleting Your Twenties (Here's Why)...

Your brain is quietly deleting your twenties — and it's not memory loss. It's something else. Childhood felt endless. New school years, new friends, new places — every day left a mark. Then adulthood settles in: same route to work, same routine, same faces. And suddenly a whole year can vanish, like it never happened. The clock never changes speed. But your sense of time does — and there's a real psychological reason why. This video breaks down why time perception speeds up with age, what routine and novelty actually do to memory formation, and why "where did the year go?" isn't just a feeling — it's measurable. Maybe you're not losing time. Maybe you're losing the moments that would have made it stick. -------------------------------------- Sources / Reference Wittmann & Lehnhoff (2005), “Age Effects in Perception of Time” — found that retrospective judgments of time passage generally become faster with age, although the effects were modest. Friedman & Janssen (2010), “Aging and the Speed of Time” — examined several explanations for why time appears to accelerate and found the age effect was particularly evident when people judged the previous 10 years. ------------------------------------ This video was independently researched and created with care.
