Comment on A warning from Norm Macdonald
Chozo@fedia.io 1 day agoI think a lot of that comes down to our ability to make personal comparisons. When you're 10 years old, a year is 10% of your entire lived experience. When you're 50 years old, a year is just 2% of your life. Life feels like it goes faster as we age, because we have so much more to compare it to as we grow older.

I think you just inspired me to take more pictures. I think it’d be nice to look back at my camera gallery every year to see what I had going on.

It’s one of the main reasons I started photography. I noticed, especially as someone with ADHD that I would forget about things I did even if they were very important to me.

Is this an ADHD thing? I was diagnosed not long ago and I have this happen with some things. A friend who also has it is basically the opposite, remembering specifics about things like video games we both played at the same time that I simply do not recall.

It is but it can vary by individual a lot. I think the way a lot of people describe it is they feel like they don’t have control over what they remember. Like I forget things that I do all the time, but will remember a middle school friend’s middle name, or a small obscure fact I learned years ago that I haven’t used since.
