Time has always gone by so slowly for me. When I was a kid, people told me it would speed up as I grew up. Well, now i'm 31, and every day feels like a freaking year. It doesn't matter how busy I am...time just crawls by. Anyone else have this problem, or just life just zip along for you?

*does life just zip along.

I agree with you. I am real depressed, though - so my days consist of waiting to die & wanting that time to come sooner. Unfortunately, I find it extremely difficult to find joy in living life and it feels like such hard work to get through a day let alone smile my way through it.

When I retired I thought that time would begin to creep along and that every day would seem interminable.
I was wrong. Today is Sunday and the next thing I know it's Sunday again! Yesterday my kids were crawling; today my grandkids are driving.
On the other hand, something like my first day of school was an eternity ago! There are times when I get so emotionally "tired" that I wonder when this is all going to be over because it seems like I have been on this earth forever.
So to answer your question: Yes, life is very very long! And No, it goes by too quickly!

Life normally zip through so fast you could not even stop it. By the time you blink your eye, another 20 years will be over. Slow? No.

It's been both ways for me at different times of my life. Now it seems to be flying by, but it wasn't always that way. I think it depended on what I was going through at the time. Are you depressed or going through something now? If so, you might want to seek counseling. Can't hurt!

I feel the same way. But it might be because I am an extremely impatient person, so a minute feels like 100 seconds instead of 60.

One day you wake up and realize your youth is spent and you face old age. Make the most of your life, live it instead of waiting for it to pass.

Sometimes it does. Keep yourself busy. Maybe you need to go on a vacation too. You sound a little stressed.

I wish my life would slow down. I am afraid always of it ending too soon and not being prepared.
Life is short.
If you feel it is long, take advantage of it while you can.

You might have a good memory. I seem to remember everything, thus, a month still seems like a long time.

Some days just vanish for me, others drag. Life, in general, though, seems endless.
