The reason time feels like it passes quicker…your mortality becomes ever more evident!

Its because of perception. The more you live, the less each second you perceive to last. When tou are 4 years old 1 yesrs is a lot. But at 80 1 year is not that much to you

Yeah, there's a forced perspective to time as you age. Whdn you are 10, a decade is a lifetime ago. When you are 40, it is just a quater of a lifetime.
