Is it becomming normal for each year to just fly past ?

Everyone , young or old , even kids , say the year went so fast now . When I was a kid a year took about 3 yrs but now even my 10 yr old niece reckons the years just flown.
I use to think it'd only feel like that when you got much much older but I hear it right across the board now days.

Is it normal for you now no matter what your age, for everyone , is it that our world is so full on now ?

    It is perfectly normal to feel this way. Time does indeed go so fast these days. Me being in my mid 20's I feel time passes with the blink of an eye. However, the more you dwell on how fast the time flies the quicker it actually does. Live for now, and every minute. Tick tock...tick...took.

    Time is relative to your experiences. If you're 4yo your birthday has taken 25% of your life to come around again since the last one. If you're 40yo it's only been 2.5% of your life since the last one.

    My dad use to torcher us with the news every night too.
    Yeah a lawyer , busy as all hell I guess 24/7 , told me it's fact that the busier you are the quicker time goes . Reckons part of their training was really focused on managing time. I was only 20 at the time and thought hmm, gotta do less then it's already flying!

    Kids don't seem to do as many chores or get bored as much as we did. We had nothing fun to do at home if it was raining outside and we only had 3 TV channels - but when dad came home we had to watch the News.

    It's normal, but when you are busy or enjoying life, time tends to fly. I have noticed it too.
