Does the passage of time ever overwhelm you?

Asked by cookieman (41609points) April 1st, 2012 from iPhone

I came across a box of old photos today and began flipping through them. Photos of my family and my wife’s from the 70s, 80s, and 90s.

It was a nice trip down memory lane until I realized that almost everyone in the photos were now dead, or elderly. Babies (in the photos) are now married, with children.

Meanwhile, I still feel like “me” (if ya know what I mean). Then it hit me, “where have all the years gone?!”

It was suddenly very overwhelming to me. Have you ever felt this way?
