How does time seem to flow for you?

I remember my parents saying that the older they became the faster time flew by. I didn’t pay much attention to them at the time, but now I can say exactly the same thing. Time seems to fly by so quickly it is almost frightening!

Sometimes I wonder if the earth has changed its course and if nature makes time race by faster. A year to me is the equivalent of 6 months. A week in my eyes is a mere equal to just 3 days. I don’t know if it is just little old me lost in my own world, but I have truly lost track of time. So much so, that when I see people, I may tell them that I have not seen them for about a year, they look at me in horror replying that it’s been at least 3 and a half years! I can’t believe how fast the last decade went, I still vividly remember the millennium celebrations as if they were just five years ago!

Does the earth spin faster? Have we entered another dimension? Am I slowly losing it?

I just go with the flow, but more often than not it drags out. When I’m looking back though it’s super compact, and things that were a year ago feel like a month, and that’s how long ago I remember them. I can’t refer backwards very well.

The 7 weeks of the school holidays used to seem like an eternity. Now time is passing faster and faster and the months and years blur into one another. I have always treasured those special moments in life that seem outside of time.

When you play video games, there’s never enough time in a day.

I was just thinking it’s been twelve years since the millennium. I feel like we just celebrated new year 2000. Where the hell did that decade+ go?!?!

My wife and I are together 24 years this year. I’ve been with her longer than I wasn’t?!?!?!

Then I tally up all the folks that have died in my life….aaarrrgghh.

I really don’t enjoy thinking about this. I agree that it is frightening.

Time is weird right now. I’ve been sitting on my ass for the last 15 months, so a week feels like nothing. I go back to college in just a few days, and I know the time remaining will seem to go by in an instant. I also know once I’m at college and my days become jam packed, time will start feeling very slow because each day will contain like a month’s worth of my current lifestyle’s activity. But the weekends will probably zoom by. xD

@Mariah Yeah, it usually goes like this: Mooooooonday, Tuuuuuuuuesday, Wedneeeeeeesday, Thuuuuuuuursday, FriiiidaySatSun.

@Blackberry: Oh, I wish. For years now, my weeks feel like:
Mndy
Tsdy
Wdsdy
Thrsdy
Fridy
Satdy
(and finally) Suunnddaaayy

@cprevite Ouch, that’s pretty bad :( Hope you drink some beer in there.

It depends what I am doing but it really seems to be flying by mostly. It seems like only yesterday it was Christmas 2010 and now we are in 2012!

I can’t remember the last time time dragged for me. I actually wish I could slow things down. Or have a clock I could click the button on and you all stop while I get on with things and then I can restart you all again.

My goal for 2012 is to have more ‘quality time’. Less work. More play. Perhaps it will slow down a bit then.

@Blackberry I lol’d.

I guess time seems to feel like it is flying by.
I assume that is because it is a reminder to GET my goals done now!
