True story.

My dad once took me to the museums in Chicago, just me and him. I was fascinated with ancient history so I pulled out my device and began to film every artifact, even focusing in on the plaques describing the more interesting ones. He asked me what I was doing and I told him I never want to forget any of this so I’m filming it. He laughed and said good job son. Was my favorite vacation ever. Just one thing though, my ‘device’ was simply my hands held in a rough square shape in front of my face. This was in the mid 80s. I called it my video recorder but of course we couldn’t afford one. 3 years ago I took my wife to see all the same things there(being very careful, it is Chicago) and I took so many pictures with my phone. Still wonderful experience and she loved it too. I can’t help but feel my late father was there with us in spirit. Thanks Pop!

You can find an extension warranty but you'll need to look for it first. Hope is a good offer as well as meaning. Add in a dash of meaning and you've got yourself a life worth living.

As someone who is currently in the late teens age range, I guess it's about time to go out more to make some memorable memories

Ultimately, only the key and crucial moments remain. And if a soul is rather unlucky, the majority of these memories will revolve around trauma. And why? Simple. Because sometimes, the negative experiences FAR outweigh the awesome ones. That's just how it is sometimes; it's not a person's opinion, it's just reality. 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨ "Before I start, I must see my end.

Im 32 this year and tbh yes I agree with most of the vid. However, a MAJOR catalyst of this was the pandemic. It’s stole like 3 years of all our lives, and nothing has been the same since, here in the UK, all the services that used to work half decent have never gone back to pre-pandemic levels, everything has been automated or halved in output, I have been trying to get a doctors appointment for MONTHS.. what used to be the norm to get an emergency appointment is now the the norm for a normal appointment.. it doesn’t work at all. That goes for almost all services. Along with the internet, what used to be an escape from the world has now flipped on its head and I use the world to escape from the internet.. I absolutely hate this corporate consumer driven internet mentality.. almost no services available have human interaction. Everybody hates each other now, more than ever before. The world has gone backwards.

Time dilation. An effect also present in dreams. Could be 10, 100, even 1000x slower than actuality.

it's just math. if you're 1 year old, 1 month is 1/12 of your life. 10 years old, 1 month is 1/120 of your life. we perceive our total time alive so measured amounts of time are smaller slivers of the overall pie, and so they feel smaller, or faster.

I lived in another country for a while. I didn't speak the language well and I was constantly engaged because I couldn't afford to be on autopilot with new people places and things. I realized that being in the moment is what makes time full, meaning, not squandered but really experienced. Don't live mundane days without new experiences and stay in it. Then, time doesn't just poof, vanish unfairly.

I never really stressed about anything until i learned what stress was. Kinda funny how that works

I've wondered if it has something to do with the development of our brains, personalities and bodies. When time felt the slowest, in youth, we in a state of constant growth and change, improvement if you will. There were a lot of new experiences as well, pleasant and unpleasant, which also left a mark in our minds. Both as we reached adult stage after our brains and bodies had stopped growing and attained their peak form, and life perhaps, for some, became more mundane and routine, our perception of time changed accordingly. Maybe the trick then is to force ourselves to keep learning, or to try new experiences.

Another aspect to it is everything looked twice as large. From your small child perspective, being half the size of an adult, it makes sense everything would feel twice as big and distances twice as long.

I guess this explains why when I am traveling to some where new, it takes longer. But when I am returning it's faster. Has anyone experienced the same thing?

Honestly I really don’t care how much faster the days get from aging. Yeah I’m like 40 and yes it’s fast but I don’t care cause I enjoy life.

Personally I think there is a correlation between our perception of time and our stages of growth. The cells in our body regenerate and rejuvenate quickly during our growth cycle until we are around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, and after we are fully grown adults our cells do not do this as effectively and efficiently as they did when we were younger. When we have fully completed our growth cycle all of our cells and our bodies are slowly decaying and dying.

It’s the little things in life this kinda reminds me of soul the movie

Don’t agree. Time is objectively accelerating. Ask older people (60+) if they still felt like time was moving leisurely while they were in their 20s-30s, and they will say they still had plenty of time relatively to the last 10-15 years, ask 20-30 year olds now if they still feel like they have time, they will say none at all. It doesn’t matter the age, even children and teenagers nowadays say they feel time is going by incredibly fast. It’s likely to continue accelerating until no one can deny it anymore, not even scientists and physicists.

Perhaps the ideal way is to cherish the completed & embrace the impending onsets.

Time goes faster when you get older because eventually you realize that you're literally running out of time. By the time youre 40 on average you only have around 20 years of life left.
