The Days are *FLYING*

Reilly · 16-02-2006, 02:35 PM

Does it appear that as you get older, days get faster and faster?

I mean time generally, its scary how fast it begins to move. Its like, one moment I've just woken up and the next, its 9pm already.

When I was a child, a month, was a really long time, and now it's nothing. January 16th could be yesterday to me, if I could remember what happened hehe. Even December 16th when I went home to Ireland for Christmas, I remember that like it was only a few days ago.

I'm not so sure if I can embrace this, I'm usually all about moving forward in my life but I want to have the time to do things and psychologically, the incredibly fast time movement is screwing with my brains. Realistically, I still have just as much time to do anything I want to fill the spaces, but have a mental block in doing so.

This is an important thing to me, am I the only one who feels this way? Does time begin to move a lot faster around the ages of 15, 16, 17?

i'm 16,and i think my last 2-3 years were really fast

so agreed...when was a little kid days were long...

music_fr33k · 16-02-2006, 02:44 PM

like when i was 5 or something i remember the days used to go on like they would never end...but now...

Reilly · 16-02-2006, 02:45 PM

Yeah, I remember being in Primary 6 and 7 (Aged 9-11)when I arrived in Ireland after living in Canada as a child, and those 2 years were like a different LIFETIME they were so damn long. Really, thinking of it now, they seem longer then the last 5 years of high school.

music_fr33k · 16-02-2006, 02:47 PM

as i think about it i missed being younger

and now i feel old

Reilly · 16-02-2006, 02:51 PM

But its natural! Its growing! Embrace it! Be positive!

music_fr33k · 16-02-2006, 02:53 PM

yeah come to think about it....that is true!

Reilly · 16-02-2006, 02:57 PM

I think its easy to say you were happier as a child because you're looking back at it through rose-tinted spectacles (Oh god I sound like mc_squared

) but in truth, if you are stuck at any point of your life, be it childhood or being aged 20-25, you would be very unhappy.

As scary as it is to get older sometimes, it needs to be embraced because you have to grow to be happy.

winnie · 16-02-2006, 03:02 PM

Yeah, I notice that, too!
I watched in TV some time ago, where some scientists were trying to explain this 'effect':
The older you get, the more years are stored in your memory. And it's a kind of psychological effect that the more years you have in your mind the shorter they appear to yourself.
Well, I guess, that was it. A pretty plausible explanation, isn't it?

Reilly · 16-02-2006, 03:04 PM

I heard about that, but it was about 4 years ago and I guess I forgot! How ironic

Thanks for that Winnie, great post.

oh god yes....the time goes by faster than you can say mushroom pie and i dont like it.... I miss childhood, it was so much fun back in the days before you grew up and became a teenager. It's not like I'm unhappy but life was easyer when you were little and you didnt have so much pressure on you.

What I really dont like right now is that my brothe turns 20 this summer and probably will move away from home soon. We have so much fun together and I dont want him to move away. I cant belive he will be 20 soon!!! I remember it like it was yesterday he turned 17
