Do you consider 5 years a long time?

Do you think 5 years is a long time? How much can change in that amount of time? Looking back on your lives this time 5 years ago, how different is everything now in comparison?

It depends.
If I was hanging by my balls on a spike, then yes, five years would be a very long time.😬
All gone. Will get worse soon.
I agree with this.
When you're younger, five years is a large span - so many things change.
The older you get, five years doesn't seem much in comparison to how long you've already lived. Once life has settled and you've managed to get into a groove, five years can pass with no major changes.
Think back to July 2009 and all the changes that have happened since then, not only in the world generally, but to you, your circumstances, family and friends.
There you have your answer.
Retrospectively I find that changes that have happened during the last 5 years have had no impact on my perception of how quickly the time passed. I've had 5 year periods of little change, and 5 year periods of significant change. Looking back I don't perceive them to have passed differently.
When you're 100yrs old , 1 year is one hundreth of your life , which is a small part of your life, so the years seem to go quicker
Sorry to hear that - I hope all goes well for you. x
Five years later, with what life has thrown at me, I really had nothing to complain about in 2009. I dread to think what will have happened in another five years' time.
Why did things seem so much simple say 20 or 30 years ago?
For the amount that has happened it seems like a long time but in reality it passed so quickly.
No, 5 years is nothing at all.
5 years between the ages of say 21-26 and not much happened? Same job, still living at home, same boyfriend for most of that time
However the past 5 years have seen much change, namely having my first child and now expecting my second.
Good grief don't they just?!!!
It seriously seems like a few weeks since my kids started school. My son is 20 next year, my daughter 21 next month and I'm sat here wondering where the time in between went!
So in some ways, it's not a long time because you usually squeezed out a fair few games in that time and the time whizzed passed. In others it is, because at the end of that period you'd end up with radical changes and you'd realise how far things had come in that period of time.
