Moments ago, I read this thread "I'm just realizing how fast life goes" by cocorayo

https://www.virtualteen.org/forums/showthread.php?t=2054382

and because it's an old thread from Sept. '20 I thought instead of posting in it, I open a similar topic.


Reading those few posts from the linked thread above, I wondred why I didn't expierence the same.

Since July 2018 it felt as time stood still, or at least slowed down a bit, even so much stuff happened since to now. My GF moved abroad, living with me, turnig 18 I then moved off campus into our first but tiny flat. Almost a year later there was my HS graduation, and we moved out because we got more living space, and I my first art studio and workshop ... we had almost 3 month of a roadtrip, our first travel just the two of us, even during 2020 there was a lot of going on in our lives ... and it still felt time didn't run.


So my conclusion on time moving slow is, because the next 5 years long schedule is so filled with plans and stuff that makes up such a small part of the entire schedule that the feeling that time is flying by quickly does not arise because there is still so much ahead to to and expierence for us.

To be honest, after months of writting that post, I still don't know why I feel that time is going too fast, probably because everyone around me is much older than me. I hang out with people of 21-25 years old and me being 18. Then the family I got here and family friends are more than 40. I barely have have friends of my age where I'm at right now. Especially when you're hanging out with adults, you hear their stories and watch them now how they have their stressful and without time lives.
I'm not saying I'm not enjoying life, but it is so hard to me to just have those long afternoons of work(yes even working goes fast for me) or long time playing with friends.
