Time Perception
I am sure you have noticed that as you age, your perception of time changes. I read once that your perception of the current part of your life depends on your age. Like the last 5 years is only about 10 % of your life; but when you were ten, five years was 1/2 your life. Lately, I realize it is too late for some things. My long time fantasy of going to law school seems out of reach. However, becoming a novelist still seems possible, especially in the age of self-publishing! Lots of research has gone into this time
perception thing– interesting article here: https://www.psychologicalscience.org/observer/the-fluidity-of-time One finding from this article: “Just
being content or satisfied may not make time fly,” Gable said when the study
was published, “but being excited or actively pursuing a desired object can.” I like this conclusion better. I am definitely excited about life and
actively pursuing all kinds of adventures.
Apparently time does fly when you are having fun.
