| Points in Time |
Still, days were longer when you were younger, right? Especially the ones before your birthday or before Christmas. So, why is that feeling? I heard a really good theory explaining this once, from a youth worker at Lillån, and I actually believe it's more or less true. Makes so much sense to me ... Anyway, the idea is it's all down to having something to compare with. When you're three years old, one month is a frightfully much larger chunk of your life than when you're twenty, so it makes sense that one month seems a lot longer to you. The more time you've put behind you the shorter a fixed period of time is compared to that. Ever realized that the moment you're born, your parents are millions of times older than you? You're like one minute old and they might be say 25 years old ... Then you cut down on that gap pretty fast of course, and your amount of time to compare things with increases at the same rate. All makes sense, right? I thought so too ...
I wonder if ability to appreciate when time doesn't seem to fly comes with age too? Appreciating the present makes time seem to move slower than when you're just hanging around waiting for the next tomorrow to come. Carpe Diem, right?
