The world feels weird and out of control.

[Writer]

Can anyone actually feel the passage of time? For me, time has been whooshing past. But I can't feel it. I suddenly realize that two days have passed. Then two weeks. Then two months.

Those around me in school have complained of the same sensation. Could it be that the campus is trapped within a different space and time continuum?

Too many puzzles tonight.

1. I am definitely having that same experience

It's been going on for several years now, but it gets progressively worse every day.

It's like I blink and half a year goes by.

I think I need to find some really boring things to do so that time crawls by.

2. Yep.

In my head, I'm about 30, so, of course, it's always a shock to find that 63yr old, gray haired lady staring back at me from the mirror. The shock's enough to stop your heart!

Remember when you were a kid, and you thought Christmas or summer vacation would never come, time just stood still? And now, it seems like you no sooner get the holiday decorations put away, and it's time to put them up again?

I have a friend who shoves her decorated artificial tree into the closet when not in use. She says life's too short now to spend all that time fussing over a stupid tree.:rofl:

3. To slow down time, do what kids do.

Kids live in the "now." All of their attention is on what they are doing in the present moment. Adults spend a lot of time thinking about the past or thinking about the future. When you pay attention to where you are right now, time goes a little slower. :)

4. I've been feeling it too

Never enough time anymore - it's like it's speeding up - very weird. Interesting that you've noticed it as well. I think it has to do with age but I'm not sure. :shrug:

5. It's always like that.....

I'm 62, and it all went by way too fast overall, with periods that seemed to drag on forever.

The older I get, the more I understand how LITTLE CONTROL I have over almost everything in life.

But it is still one hell of a ride......

Good luck, in school and beyond.

6. It's a rule that after 30 the passage of time increases exponentially

with each year gone by. To me that just means to make the most of what we have while we're able to be here. If we'd all live to be a ripe old age in the universal scheme of things we'll still be outta here in the blink of an eye.
