Time really does seem to pass faster the older you get

[Scustin Bieburr]

If you had a relative born in 2006, they're 16 now.

It feels like just yesterday when I was that age myself playing online on Xbox 360

This is something I've looked into and I think we can shift. Walk with me:

When you're 10 a year is a tenth of your total time on Earth. Yet at 50 its 2%. Relative scale. You can test this by asking an adult and kid to sit still quietly for 60 seconds because the kid will jump up at 40 seconds whilst the adult clocks around 80 before moving.

Next if you're talking to someone interesting/focused on something you enjoy the relative sensation of time collapses. Anyone who has made beats knows that you can be sitting there tuning a kick or chopping a sample and not realize the sun has came up, dipped and came up again when you're in the zone. Flip it being bored with no distractions and the pace seems relentless as time drags.

Seeing where I'm going with this? You're the constant in both cases but the subjective effects are totally different due to response of stimuli and various other biomarkers that continue the state.

Being able to induce/mimic these frequencies on demand means you can become limitless in a sense and you're stepping out of coding time into decoding time. As I've said previously the human mindbody can do way more than we're taught and this is something so obvious that people never stop to consider it.

Implication are immense and plenty of moments in your life prove what I've just said as everyone feels this experience.

Yep because everyday becomes the same old bullshyt

 

[StretfordRed]

Probably because we got more shyt to do besides eat ice cream and play with wooden sticks in the garden.

Yeah, time is undefeated.....One day i was the young guy in the crew, but then became the ol head.

People born in the year 2000 are in their 20's.

Does anything since then truly equal the level of in the moment presentness, pure joy and novelty of experience? That in itself is a great hint about the nature of whats going on and how to make it the other way when the world is trying to make it one way.

To me it seems that as children our joy comes from within. For the adulterated its contingent on external factors, sensations, inputs and stimuli. Thus conditional and limited.

Flip the script.

No doubt.

I deleted my Facebook and Instagram.

Moved out of the capital city and moved to a much greener area. Bought more books, doing more study, learning plumbing, wood work, keyboard building, gardening from YouTube and spending more time in nature.

All of that to counteract the harshness of adult life. Only been about 1/2 a year so will hope it brightens my mood and feelings.

100. I've spoke on it before:

Log off and read a book

The internet or how we can all be lonely together now

There is a process at work that isn't in our interests. Its very easy to fall into because its designed to be addictive by tapping pleasure centres hence digitalbaseheads because thats exactly what it is. Same mechanism. What no one questions is why we feel we need this new opiate of the masses and what it represents about the schism within.

The keyword when it comes to childhood is being open. You want to learn, explore, create, think, question. All of that. A bit further down the line and that state becomes anathema and people wonder why it doesn't hit like it did before. To change what controls you you must be willing to change what you control.

The crazy thing is the child hasn't gone anywhere and I can prove it to you in an instant.

Go and pick up pen in your non dominant hand and start writing. Look familiar?

From 20 to 60 time moves fast. It starts to slow after 60. At least this is what the OG's told me. Get everything done you want now, because those doors are closed when you're old.

Monthly paycheck to monthly paycheck life.

One of my nephew's turned 18 last year

He taller than me now

I remember like it was last year, how I'd always make him cry because he could never beat me in 2k

Him using the overpowered warriors and I be using the trash magic just to reach him a lesson. And still winning by double digits

But now times have changed

Spoiler

he still hasn't beaten me in 2k tho

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

in my 30s time has began to just fly by..def depends on the job you have and how you spend your time. i used to feel like there was so much time in a day to do whatever the fukk...but now once i bang out a shift at work thats it for me. in relationships i feel like i'm spreading myself thin because i get off work and now i gotta put all this focus into a woman like the work day started over. one thing i will say, if you arent doing things that make you happy then time will fly by and not in a good way.

I only realize when birthdays, holidays, etc come around and when i see kids after some years that were kids when i was a teen/late teens. Was at my momma house on my bday i think, seen one of my nephews by my brother's ex wife and last time i seen him he was barely starting school. fukked me all the way up when my momma asked "you know who that is?" Prolly the same age i was the last time I seen him

Anyway, said all that to say i usually ignore time as a whole, only being concerned with the times of day. Lately been feeling like it's been moving faster, but I've been having a good time so that might be why. Even when im bored with nothing i want to do and have nobody that's awake to vibe with, i can get lost in my own head for hours, which often turns into writing lyrics to no beat

Only downside is i completely forget about holidays (including mother's day) and i prolly won't remember the days leading up to birthdays and some i won't remember at all unless they're paired with a memory or important person. Couple years ago i thought i was still 24 almost the whole year i was 25 smh
