OK, so I'm 23, hardly old, but I've noticed that the older I get, the faster time seems to move. When I was 18 or 19, a month seemed like forever, yet nowadays I can have the thought, for example "Oh, I better respond to that letter I got the other day.. holy shit it's been a month since I got that thing!" Anyone else notice that?

Hmm I'm 20 soon to turn 21 in August and I feel like I getting old as well. I've got too many damn decisions and not enough time or money.I'm going to be one of those lonely old men who scares the hell out of little children when I get old and crusty. People are going to say stay away from old man ocean the old mans fucking crazy. Mwahahahaha

yes...and the older you get keithd the faster it goes. like the other day i was telling someone about my best friend and how i haven't seen her since i moved from seattle and i was going to say that it was just a few years ago...but then i realized that DAMN eeek it has been 6 yrs since i left. 6 years and it seems like just yesterday that they drove me to the bus station and we were smoking out really hard and we were hugging and crying and kissing and telling each other that we'd see each other next summer. 6 summers later and i still haven't gotten back. you keep telling yourself there's plenty of time to do everything....

The summer after my first year at school seemed to take forever. July and August were lifetimes. Now I have four months between the end of classes and the start of the next year, and it seems to go by in a flash...

My theory on this:

Each year of your life is a certain % of your life.

Let's say you're 9. The next year of your life is around 11% of it. As you get older, each year becomes a smaller %.

My theory.

my theory is this. when you're ten years old, one year is a tenth of your life, and a tenth of your entire experience. when you're 20, one year is only a 20th of your memory and experiences. it's a smaller part of your collected experience, so it seems shorter. and so it goes on, each new year being a smaller percentage of your total memories. therefore time seems more and more compressed when you look back at it.

does that make sense?

Don't worry it's not just you. I have a hard time remembering if something happened 2 years ago or 5 or 6. Time all starts to blend together once it's past.

No. Not just you.

...seriously though, this whole "time speeds up" thing blows. that's part of why i don't sleep that much anymore. the last couple of weeks has seemed like a month, and yet a month ago seems like yesterday. WTF!? isn't there some sort of paradox there?
