Is it just me or is time accelerating?

Lately, I’ve been feeling like time is speeding up. It’s not just the usual “time flies when you’re older” effect. it’s something deeper. Ever since around 2018 the years seem to blur together, events happen faster, and before I know it, another year is gone.

I don’t use social media much, so it’s not just endless scrolling making time disappear. Could this be something else? If we’re in a simulation, is the “clock speed” increasing? Maybe reality’s processing power is being reallocated, or an event is approaching that requires time to be compressed.
