Time moving faster with age???
When I was a youngster, my father would make wild claims about things in life I had yet to understand. One of his favorite lines was..."Enjoy it while you can, because the next thing you know, your my age." He would then go on to tell me about how turning 13 seemed like it was yesterday, and things of that nature. He'd say that, the older you get the faster the years fly by.
I never believed him. How could this be true? With days seeming endless at school, and homework mountains as tall as me, why would time move faster with age?
Now, with each passing year, I understand what he was talking about. For the past five or so years it has gotten worse. I'm starting to remember things like they were yesterday. On the verge of my 27th birthday, I am noticing it more and more. I don't feel old by any means. I hardly feel like I'm running out of things to do. It's just a weird phenomena of life I guess. Maybe subconsciously I'm telling myself that I've got to make things happen, make the most out of my time. Maybe try to hang onto that feeling of having things drag along. I think the hardest part for me is admitting my father knew what he was talking about! I never wanted to believe it!
Does anyone else have that sensation? This year is almost over you know! I'd be real suprised if I was the only one who felt this way. What do you think is the reason for this strange occurence? Does it bother you? Are you comfortable with it? It should be interesting to read the posts, seeing how there are so many people of different age here. Well...?
