A few yrs ago, I did not feel that way. But for the last few yrs it is different. It feels as if days go so quickly. Why do you think it is like that now?

How old are you?
I'm 22 and yes that happens. I've noticed it moves more quickly if you are focused on something always in the future that you can't quite reach at now.
I was waiting for my fiance to come home from Iraq...time moved slowly then but once he got back it was as if I lost 2 years and didn't realize it.
He taught me the greatest way to hold on to precious time and that is to enjoy life one day at a time like there is no tomorrow. For many of his friends that he fought with there was no tomorrow.
Live like you were dying sweetie. If you choose, hold onto a higher power. Mine is God but yours is what you choose if any :)

I feel the exact same way. When I was 9 or so I couldn't wait to grow up.. Now I'm almost 14 and time seems to pass so quickly. I already feel old. My aunt is 5 years older than I am.. So she is 18, And I can't believe I'll be 18 that soon. She can't believe I'll be 15 next year. She said I'm old now, but I'm not.. I just look at my baby pictures and I realize how old I'm getting.. Things like candy that I loved when I was little are now collectable items. In little over four years I'll be an adult. Time is passing fast.

Ever notice that when you are sitting in a cold station waiting for a train, or a hot classroom waiting for a boring lecture to finish that time just seems to CREEP. But if you are late for a party, or trying to finished those last seven questions on a tough exam, or kissing somebody TIME FLIES.
Must be that lately your life is very happy or busy. If you need to slow it down find someplace with very little happening and no demands. Enjoy the changing rhythms.

As we age our perception of time begins to progress with us. In addition when you are a part of the work force in our society your concept of time will be much shorter than if you are not, you will continue to feel this until you reach retirement (if you do).
The only reason that it slows then is due to less strenuous activities to speed your day along.
Basically working in a busy work place you are too preoccupied to notice the time pass by.
Where as on a less active life you notice each minute as it turns in.

Because you are getting older and doing the same thing you have been doing for years.
You need to get out and do something you have been wanting to do but never had/took the time to do.
In the past 3 years I have gotten 2 grand-kids, (big change and drama) that keeps me pretty busy and really shows how time flies.
So I know what you are talking about.
The winter months make it hard to cope with things. I think our brain just wants to hibernate with the lack of less sun....LOL.

Yes I completely know how you feel!! Since I turned 20 it's made me feel so old! Plus working a 9-5 job doesn't help. The sun just comes up when I go to work and its dark when I get off.. What happened to the day????

Each day is a smaller and smaller percentage of the total days you have lived and therefore seem quicker.
One analogy is that life is like a roll of toilet paper. The more you pull off the quicker the roll spins. As you get older the years spin by quickly.

CHECK THIS OUT...As the universe expands, it speeds up. All matter in the universe is expanding outward and the more it expands, the faster if travels. Now, I'm not saying that time is going by faster, but this is the theory you should begin with to further investigate this phenomenon...you'll be pleasantly surprised to learn that it doesn't really matter. Fast or slow, we are still trapped within "Time".

No question about it. The older you get, the "faster" time seems to pass.
It must be an unscientific but nonetheless SENSED measurement of our total lifespan. Ten years seemed like an AWFULLY long time back when I was 15....now that I'm 41, ten years seems to go by in no time at all.

It's a sign that we're getting older. I have felt that about the last 3-4 years....
