Imagine you're a kid, every year is like a brand-new adventure. But when you're older, the years feel more similar to each other. It's like having fewer surprises as you grow up. That’s why time seems faster as we age.
Examples
- A child might feel like their summer vacation lasted forever, but an adult may think it passed in a blink.
- Learning to ride a bike feels like a long journey for a kid, but for someone older, it’s just a small event in the day.
- A new job at 20 feels exciting and life-changing, while getting a promotion at 40 might feel more routine.
