When you're a kid, time seems like it drags on...like you're always waiting for Christmas...or your Birthday...or for school to be out for the summer...it just seems like whatever you're waiting for takes forever.
But as you get older, time goes by so quickly...seriously, I feel like I was JUST 18 (granted I'm only 24, but I seriously forget how old I am most of the time...I still feel like I should be a teenager or something). It's like time speeds up...and all of a sudden it's Christmas-Time again, etc...and you wonder where the year went.
SO ANYWAY...I've always wondered....when/if you live to be 80 or 90, etc...you FEEL like you've lived that long. Does it seem like you've been alive for that long? Or did it just fly by...like the years always seem to do. Does time ever "slow down" again like when you were young? Or is it always a race against the clock?
I hope this makes sense...and sorry if I generalized at all...maybe nobody feels that way, but just curious for any thoughts I guess. I suppose I could just ask some elderly people...but that seems a bit obnoxious ;)

well my grandmother is 92 and she certainly isnt racing against any clocks.i have a feeling if i asked her how it felt(being 92) she'd probably answer....how do you(me,I)feel,or something like that.
at any rate time is an illusion,it's not to be trusted.
