Do you think the years go rushing on too quickly?

I had a boyfriend who used to try to get me to think about events in terms of the year they occurred so as not to have the problems of forgetting--but I just never could get the knack of doing it. Like a lot of people mentioned, I say something happened 5 years ago, then when I really figure it out it turns out to be 20-plus years.

My brain is breaking just thinking about this subject. I sometimes feel like time is flying compared to the long past. But sometimes I feel like, at 79 I've been old forever.
 

I often remember things that happen in the past. Think about when and then with a little research find I am off by 5 or more years. I suspect it is normal for all of us. Life seems so short as they say, yet when you look at your past, pictures, videos etc you are amazed at the years that have past. Most days in our lives are mundane. Wake, eat, go to work, come home, eat dinner. Watch favorite shows then go to bed.
We forget most of this. We remember the special occasions, the vacations and the extraordinary times that stay in our memories. We just don't remember the everyday lives that we live. I tend to think that we compress history to those special times. Hence, life seems short, or at least the perception is that life is short. Life is short to which I agree but our lives are full and we wish that it would go on forever.
However, our ages tell us otherwise. It's normal. We all feel the same. The reality is that we can't hide, we can't make it go away and we can't make it stop. We have to accept.
just my opinion

A day has endless hours yet the years slip away fast. Even Einstein cannot explain it.

The time and its passing are mysterious indeed.
