Does life move faster as you get older

Or are you just paying less attention?
JustNik · 51-55, F
I’m definitely paying more attention. As the moments are passing, I want to hold onto them tighter because I’ve already discovered that this thick tome of memories I’m carting around was written in a flash. The sense of speed comes with more awareness, not less.

I think I move slower maybe… and I have children so although the days sometimes seem long… the months whip by.

They grow so fast and I seem to just be slowing down you know?

@WaryWitchWandering Ive no kiddos, so maybe one day I'll have walked in your shoes a bit. Time can certainly be a junxtipsion depending on how we look at it.
I sat in a chair for 2 years and watched TV but it still went by fast. Now I have to go out but this damn beer belly is a problem.

@Pitchblue That big step forward is forever a bastard, but congrats on the effort its taking.

Non, it's our perception. But I think we are more aware/see it for how it truly is, a fasting moving vapor.
Vaper · 31-35, M
@Magenta Indeed, I agree. The illusion of time remains unchanged in its passing. Perhaps simply the moments we waste of it rutted in the past or future that bog us down.

@Vaper Oui. 😊
When we are young, we aren't as aware.. innocent or ignorant to it.

I feel it does. I still can't believe I've been out of High school over 10 years
Vaper · 31-35, M
@iamnikki A decade having surpassed the arrival of a homeroom... A blink of an eye for I as well.

It's definitely speeding up and it's kind of freaking me out.
Vaper · 31-35, M
@thepreposterouspanda Find gratitude for the moment at hand my friend
A very good question, although I feel like I’m paying more attention because I’m [b]aware[/b] I don’t have as much time left. When I was younger there was always “later".
Vaper · 31-35, M
@bijouxbroussard A very good response. I propose this: What if there was only this moment? The time at hand then becomes all that really matters.
Nebula · 41-45, F
@bijouxbroussard true that
GJOFJ3 · 61-69, M
No it just seems that way because we move slower
Vaper · 31-35, M
@GJOFJ3 Intresting 🤔
ravenhill · M
i'm not sure, but it seems to be for me.
Vaper · 31-35, M
@ravenhill Maybe all that matters is how we spend those times the big hand goes round and round. 🤔
