I wish there was a way to make the year last longer, it feels like its only been a week since the start of the year.

The older you get the faster it seems to fly by

You must be young. Us old farts think the opposite.

I remember when I was like 9 an hour seemed like an age and I couldn't find anything to do.
Now an hour seems like a minute and there's too much to do.

Take me back.

I feel you, this year only feels like 4 months for me. I think it's because time passes quicker as you get older, but i never checked if that's actually true or not.

Patience is a virtue, yet time waits for no man.

How is it my feet can smell, yet my nose can run?

Time is effectively constant, but your perception of it can change. It's all in the mind.
I always thought it was because when you're a child, your brain is still building a database of the world around you. Probably why most(all?) people don't remember anything from when they were infants - nothing to compare stimuli to. By the time you're an adult, just about everything you'll likely encounter in your life has been cached somewhere in memory, improving access speed, and the older you get the more things get cached -- and you're able to make effective decisions quickly based on your previous experiences.

But this is all conjecture. I don't know why it is the way it is.

Time has no actual value if we think on it. Imagine all the hours and weeks being procrasinated via electronic stimuli. We live in a special time, where we can adapt to so much information to better ourselves. Yet like the insane beings we are, we repeat history and learn nothing from the past. We are more preoccupied with reddit and twitter, watching youtube videos and playing games to apply ourselves better.

Im personally alright with this myself. But hey, planet of billions right?
