So when it feels like every year goes by faster than I remember the previous year going, it’s not just because I know I’m inching closer to my inevitable death?

I always felt the more fun (or terrifying) answer to that was exactly this. Time doesn't seem to get faster because each new moment becomes a smaller and smaller percentage of your life, but because time is actually going by faster.
