February 16, 200620 yr 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?
February 16, 200620 yr Author Phew! I aint going crazy. "Each day just goes so fast One moment and its passed" -George Harrison :cry:
February 16, 200620 yr :thinking: i'm 16,and i think my last 2-3 years were really fast :stunned: so agreed...when was a little kid days were long... :idea2:
February 16, 200620 yr like when i was 5 or something i remember the days used to go on like they would never end...but now...
February 16, 200620 yr Author 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.
February 16, 200620 yr Author 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 :sick: ) 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.
February 16, 200620 yr 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? ;)
February 16, 200620 yr Author I heard about that, but it was about 4 years ago and I guess I forgot! How ironic :wreck: Thanks for that Winnie, great post.
February 16, 200620 yr psychological effect yeap,i think all these things are only in our minds...not everybody feels it maybe.but the big part does, especially our generation who wants to rule the whole world.we are too ambitious maybe,and that's why everything's going to fast in our minds
February 16, 200620 yr 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
February 16, 200620 yr Sometimes I get depressed when I think of stuff that seem to had happened a month ago and they were actually a year or two ago

February 17, 200620 yr Author This is my best motherfucking post ever so dont ever fucking dare to let it go to waste fufkc!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111111111111111111111111111 Do not remember this. But I do really like this topic.
February 17, 200620 yr I really like this topic...I wanted to create something like that aswell.........erm-..........and it scares me how ast time is running when I get older....a week is nothing....when I was younger I thought a week was never ending.......
February 17, 200620 yr Author I think Winnie's scientific post kinda killed the discussion :laugh1: Hahah but at least a great answer to it all was given. It makes me scared though, when I'm 40 years old, will time be moving twice as fast as it is now?
February 17, 200620 yr I think Winnie's scientific post kinda killed the discussion :laugh1: lol - I'm sorry for that, scientific explanations spoil everyone's imaginations, I should've known that before ;) It makes me scared though, when I'm 40 years old, will time be moving twice as fast as it is now? quite interesting theory! But I think, that's hard to prove, 'cause you won't remember how 'slow' time was running when you were 20. And there's no objective measurement for the subjective time (sounds paradoxical, huh?) - well, as far as I know, though. ;)
