Do you feel like you need more time to figure out what you want from this life but you are getting older by the minute? I am in my early 20s but I feel like I need much more time, the years are flying by too fast and there are no brakes in life...

I'm only 14 but yeah i think so to. I come home from school, and before i know it, it is time to go to bed and i haven't even started homework. It seems that time goes by so fast that all i get done in a day is next to zero. I feel like I'm gonna be driving and moving out and getting a family before long! Some people think it's going by too slow. School goes by really fast. First terms almost over and I don't have long to make up some grades because it just fly's by! It's crazy.

I feel time running.
I feel loss when time passes and the things I imagine or want to happen still haven't materialised.
Christmas took forever to come when I was a kid and as I got older it was here in what felt like an instant.
Having a long span of life ahead like I did when I was younger made me worry about what would I do with my life first, work, family, education, or what.
I beat time somewhat doing it all at the same time. But now I am so tired I need time to give me a break.

No I don't feel like that.
Suspect you are racing through life, trying to get to the end, like its some race with a prize for the first one past the finishing line!
If you can live in the moment, then you are more able to focus on the here and now. You get more from life without living in the past.... or panicking too much about what will come in the future.
Slow down, its a journey not a race!

Yes. I agree with everyone else. Every decade seems to go by faster than the one before!
How our perceptions change! The other day, my little four year old granddaughter was complaining that she had been waiting forever to go to preschool. I asked her when it started. Her mom said, "next week". Remember when Christmas eve was an eternity? I remember waking up and looking at the clock every 15 minutes or so when I was a kid.
Maybe childhood moments seem to last so long because we were so unencumbered with all of the superfluous details we deal with every day as adults. So much of our precious time gets sucked up in obligations and responsibilities (whether self-imposed or other-imposed).It makes me wonder what it would be like to filter out all of the junk and be able to distill time down into clean, clear moments again. I think that would truly be a way to slow the clock down.

You think it is bad in your twenties?????? Try being 50! I look back and I am astonished at how the time flies. How is it already 7 years past the millennium and how did my oldest dog become 10? When did my neices and nephew grow up and become adults? I feel as if someone stole a couple of decades and left me with a few false memories of having lived those years! There are no brakes, life is a helterskelter and no one gets off.

Trust me. I'm in my first semester of college and I thought I knew everything about where I wanted to end up. I'm completely lost and confused and have NO idea what I want to do with my life. I can never reflect because I'm so busy with studying. 24 hours is not enough. So now I'm drifting along trying to make the best of every situation although I feel utterly dazed and confused. People always tell me, you're so young you have so much time to figure out what you want to do. But I just feel like I'm losing time, sitting here hating my major hating my classes, while I could be doing something I love and having so much fun. I know I'm rambling, but it makes me feel better. :)
You're not alone. I think we all feel that way at some point in our lives.

Time is a subjective idea: when you're bored, time will seem slow but when you're busy, time will fly.
I'd say that if you find time goes very quickly, it means that you are busy - the only way to reduce the speed is by taking the time to consider things, rather than just do them. Take the impetuosity and momentum of youth, and then you'll live at a slower pace.

Yes, I understand you perfectly well. Hours,days, weeks and months just seem to fly away and suddenly you realise that another year has gone by. I have this feeling that I´m loosing time as though we would be rushing towards something and that there is no more time left. It´s a horrible feeling, very hard to explain. Your not alone

Your in your twenties, try to look at the overall bigger picture with "Your Life" what do you want to have achieved by the time you are thirty years, or forty years and then you work out how to apply the brakes.

It is a true perception that September and October seem to have both been flying by.
You can take up Zen and stop the world. Then you can get your bearings in the wonderful peace and quiet which will come to you.
