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.

    Absolutely, you stop measuring the passage of time in days and years and start measuring it in experiences. When you're young and everything is new it's absolutely full. The 10th or hundredth time you've done something you handle it more easily but it also starts to seem like one 'thing'.

    Routine is the quickest way to looking back on life and feeling like it was the blink of an eye.

    People can't afford experiences anymore

    Everyone can afford experiences. Experiences don't have to be a trip abroad or jumping from hobby to hobby.

    There are people with legitimate obstacles that prevent them from doing even the simplest enrichment activities, but exploring the world around you, asking questions about things you take for granted, seeing how long you can hold your breath, try a yoga pose, count your steps on the way to work and try estimating how many steps it will take you to go to the shop down the street... Opportunities for experiences are effectively unlimited.
