Humans adapt. We have abysmal bandwidth, so we have adapted. If anything is normal you don’t notice. You reserve bandwidth for the unexpected. You already know how to react and what to do/feel regarding daily life.

Routine is the quickest way to looking back on life and feeling like it was the blink of an eye.
Keep doing new and novel things. It helps!

People can’t afford experiences anymore
Most of my best experiences didn’t cost anything except some time.
