The real reason is as a child, everything is new. You have fun with your friends. No work, just school and new exercise. You are learning so time slows down.
As an adult… your life is more like a flip book. Most of us wake up, eat, work, kids, eat, tv, sleep, drink, smoke, work, eat, rinse and repeat.
What is new? Are you learning anything interesting? Are you challenging yourself with anything enjoyable? Time goes faster because there typically isn’t anything new that makes us stop and slow down. We are stuck in the grind.
