    waterbears: So, why does time fly by as you get older? When you are younger, you have more novel, new experiences. You see your mother for the first time. You learn your first language. Everything around you is new information. When the brain puts together these new details, they seem slower when you look back on them. When you age, your understanding of the world is larger. But because you are constantly surrounded by the usual family, school and experiences, details aren’t taken in so intricately. This makes entire days seem like fleeting moments! According to this psychological diagram, if you turned 80 - looking back, the middle of your life will appear to be your 20’s! Moral of the story: Do something new every day to make your life seem longer and richer. It actually has to do with the concept of time. If somebody is in a 5 year relationship when they’re say 21, that’s a long ass time. But if you’re 80, it’s shortened by the longevity of your existence. That’s why if humans were ever able to be immortal, their brains would turn into mush: because when you live forever, years can go by in seconds, and an entire lifetime with someone would seem like a few minutes. I heard once that most writers make up their best works based off of events that happened before they turned 16, and it’s because of this factor. You can remember everything when it’s all you had to remember
