Do you feel like time goes by quicker now that you have grown up/gotten older?
I feel like time is running by at rapid speed now that I have grown up a little. I am 17 years old. It seemed like I was 12 the other day. What happened? It also seemed like it was 2000 just the other day. This last couple half decade have just come and gone as easily as urine down the tiolet. You see it one time, you look back and it's gone. I remember when I was a kid a year really felt like a year. Now it feels like a week. Just a week ago I was a freshman in High School not taking anything serious. But at the turn of a switch now and I have so many worries. What I'll do after high school, where I'll live without momma, getting a car, getting a job, preparing the wya for my kids, nothing worrying about childess beefs and drama, and looking for a serious relationship when back when I was younger all I wanted was sex. It's like I had absolutely no worries back then but issues just caught up.

Welcome to life, the trouble with getting older is you can only go forward! sounds like you've had a wake up call :) slowly slowly catchee monkey. You have all the time in the world in front of you, all you need to do is choose where you want to divert your life energies into, firstly you will get a lot of lessons, and out of those lessons you will learn what you don't wnat in your life. Educating yourself further is always a good step as there is no better investment than in you and furthermore it gives you the ability to make more creative, sound and informed decisions. There is no value in vanity, so go for value and ethics and when you have learnt your lessons, learn to specialise. The average lifetime is 25,000 days thats 365 days x 65 years, anything after that is a bonus, at 17 you have had +/- 6000 days, that leaves you 19,000 days, take a 3rd of for sleep leaves you +/- 13,000 days and then take off 20% +/- for weekends leaves you +/- 10,500 days to actively do something with, welcome back to Earth ;) in the last 20 minutes of your life you will probably be thinkig of 5 things:- 1. Who loved me 2. Who didnt love me 3. Who didnt i love enough. 4. Am i laying here wishing i'd done that and 5. Did i make a difference that went onto survive me after i died. If you can answer satisfactorily to all those questions, you did your job as a human being being someone....all the rest is BS! So learn to work smarter not harder ! enjoy ;)

Hi. Don't feel overwhelmed. You are experiencing what it means to be a grown woman. You are aware of your own past and concerned about your future. This is a good thing. But keep it in balance. You can not change the past, but you can heal and learn from it. You can not control the future. But you can influence and guide it. Don't be anxious. You have all the talent and intelligence you need to handle it, just like all the rest of us girls out here who will be supporting you.

Yeah from about 2000 or so to now flew by for me too. I think I have the asnwer for time going faster: when you're youngm you have nothing to do really and time goes slower. When you get older then you have all this stuff to do that you don't think will ever get done. So time goes faster, life's like a dream, you dream two hours night or so but it feels like five minutes!
