The experience of time has been a long-standing interest of mine. Most research focuses on short periods, like seconds/minutes, affected by emotions etc. There's not much afaik on how we experience years and decades.

Long-term memory is under-theorized. At personal life level I think I experienced an 'end of history' moment when I went free agent almost exactly 8 years ago. But it feels like yesterday. OTOH I remember 2001-2011 as a much more coherent 10 year story story. That's atemporality.

If you had kids, every year would be anchored to the age they were when something happened. You just lack distinct anchors for that time
