Do you think the years go rushing on too quickly?

[Bretrick]

When reminiscing I would always say, 10 years ago I.......
Then one day I decided to count back to see how long ago it really was.
10 years, 20 years, 30 years, 35 years
The topic I was discussion was in reality 37 years ago
I no longer say 10 years ago, I say, Way back when...

I say it every day, I've never known time to pass as quickly as it seems to be doing now...

Odd, how time seemed to pass so slowly when I was young.
Now, the days and months seem to fly by.

Right? The days really do go by in a blur. It's so fast. I was just lamenting turning 60, like, a couple months ago. I'll be 61 next month. A blur.

Does it seem to you that things are going on a faster speed? Are people talking faster? I can't even read the closed captions that fast! Watching youtube i turn down the speed with the setting icon!

Slow but steady acceleration as I age. Yet some things things seem if as yesterday but they were decades ago.

Sometimes those captions go way too fast to read.
Maybe they just need to talk slower?

We all listened to old people who mentioned how time goes by so fast. I'm not sure when I first actually noticed it. Maybe in my 40s, but at 81, days, weeks and months fly by so fast that I'm losing track of how long ago something important happened. I do like the changing of seasons, when the forests turn green then to a blaze of colors, and the winter when I can snuggle up in my wool blanket, and none of the seasons lasts so long that I get tired of it.

 

[JustDave]

How fast is time, actually? It's arbitrary set by some clock somewhere or other, but it's sill unfathomable in how our senses perceive it.

The other day..and this happens often now... I was recalling a significant event in my life, and I said it happened roughly 5 or 6 years ago... but in actual fact transpired it happened 20 years ago... I was stunned. I was just thinking, that past 20 years went like lightening... the next 20 years if I am to live to see it will go even faster if it;s at all possible.. and that's really scary!

 

[PeppermintPatty]

Years fly by so quickly these days. I find it hard to believe

Suppose you lived for 10,000 years? That would be a rush, a literal rush, not just some passing high.

 

[Ruthanne]

Yes they definitely do!

 

[Babs2u]

The years, the months and now the weeks rush by. Someone says something like "tomorrow is Sunday" and I'm thinking didn't we just have a Sunday?

exactly... precisely... that's how I see it... it;s crazy.. It actually concerns me a lot.....

 

[seadoug]

Yes, they do but my philosophy is that if I live my life to the fullest right now I will have no regrets when my time is up.

The seeming passage of time during human lifetimes is like that of a bowling ball rolling down a many miles long gradient, accelerating accelerating.

Looking back, the perception of our lives for those that say have lived to age 80 years, might be that one had lived half their life after reaching late teens. During K12 years, summer vacations were as long as several later full year's passage.
