Time waits for no man, woman or the gender neutral

So another year has passed, last Tuesday was my birthday and I'm now officially closer to 40 than I am 30.

I spent my youth wishing my life away, couldn't wait to be 16, then 18, then 21.

It was only with age and having kids that I realised time is a valuable and very limited commodity.

Why does time seem to go faster as we age, someone enlighten me.

Oh, and Carpe Diem

I think as we get older, our perception of time changes. As a child, it would feel like time is pretty slow like being in school for example but as an adult, it would feel like time is going quicker as we are doing more stuff that takes up time.

I think time was slow when we were young because you'd always be doing something and easily bored if not. You would get home from school and go straight out to play. Summer holidays was spent playing outside all day long getting up to all sorts, quickly eat supper then back out again, trips away and visiting family, summer felt like forever looking back at your days packed with excitement. But now as adults we get home from work and relax with a cup of tea and tv and often that is the rest of our day, the odd night out every now and then and that's basically it, so looking back there isn't much excitement filling our days making it more forgettable and seem faster. Thats my theory anyways

I can’t enlighten anyone with my concept of how precious time is, or my unrational fear of inevitable death. But I have realised, I’m too old to die, and not old enough to have ‘good innings’. .... if that helps.

That is an interesting theory as I've noticed that as we get older, our levels excitement goes lower but luckily not to the point where nothing is exciting anymore

Personally i ve always thought tge opposite... As a child we were always waiting, clockwatching... For xmas, birthdays, holidays, summer... We had no control thetefor we had to wait and when you re waiting for something you want time drags... But as adults we are in control, we can make it happen as soon or as late as we wish... And as for life being more sedate as an adult, in mu case no... I lice in my truck, i chase good music, dance, run... I m busier than ever but still time goes quick

Because time is relative

Say you're 20 years old, a decade is half your lifetime

At 50, it's one fifth and therefore seems a less significant amount of time

Hope this helps. Happy birthday
