See you, September. Bye.Is it my imagination or are the years getting faster the older I get? I remember when the six weeks of the school holidays seemed like AGES. Now, six weeks goes by and I'm still trying to figure out what to have for lunch.
Do the years go by so much faster these days because everything is faster? For all we know, kids today probably feel the years whizzing by as well. Unlike our own languid childhoods, theirs are packed full with one activity after another. They probably also feel there aren't enough hours in a day...
Our sense of time seems so subjective. It seems to go faster when we're busy and engrossed. Perhaps we get more busy and engrossed as we get older? It's kind of ironic that the busier you are, the faster time goes and the more you wish for more time. Perhaps the secret is that if we've got a lot to do, we should actually do nothing and feel time slow down. That sense of the clock hands moving on fast forward would instantly cease. We would feel a lot less stressed, I'm certain.
Does time fly by faster the older you get?
Do you think that kids today still feel like time is slow?
