I feel something coming... I hate how fast time moves now in days... I remember being like 14 and couldn't wait to be 18, then being 18 and wanting to be 21... well I turned 21 and now everything just seems to fly by. it hit me today, that my birthday is just over a month away. it feels like my birthday was only 3 months ago now or maybe a bit more, and here I am again bout to be 20 bloody 6.
funny how we wanna get older and then we want it to slow down.

time moves faster as you get older. Obvious yes, but i think it is a scientific thing that has to do with perception.

it dose, it's the whole you have lived x amount of time so y amount of time seems shorter, hence why when you were young a week took forever and now a week is a drop in the buket

In all honestly, i think that we should all just stop aging when we are old enough to drink.

it is all about perception indeed. Time progresses at the same rate, or rather the cause and effect relationship of all the matter in the universe supposedly remains constant, unless there is good reason as to why it shouldn't. (Blah blah science.) It's mostly memory, and there may be a direct connection to how time seems to be shorter. At least in my mind I'll say this, when we are young out minds are fresh and take in vast amounts of information as well as storing it. (Think about your child hood memories compared to now and how easy they are to remember) As we age our ability to learn falls, and we take in less information, that lower amount of information that passes into memory can be directly dependent on our perception of time, so thus it could all seem to be much shorter. Think about it like this, everything that makes it from our short term to long term is sand, and all the sand is our perception of time so the more of it, the longer it seems to go, then imagine that as time progresses we receive less and less, and find that the days seem to be passing quicker and quicker. Either that or it could also be depression, even though the time seems to take a longer than usual when your in the moment, in all reality time seems to be much shorter than it is, especially if you are paranoid. Who knows this is all speculation off of the top of my hear...
