Imagine you're five years old. A year feels like forever, it’s a huge chunk of your life! But when you’re older, a year is just another day in the big picture. That's why time seems to go faster as we grow up. It has to do with how many new experiences we have each year.
Examples
- A child might think a year is forever because it's full of exciting events like birthdays and holidays.
- An adult may feel that weeks pass in just a few days, especially when life feels routine.
- A teenager gets used to new experiences quickly, but an older person might remember every detail of their childhood.
