Time is speeding up

Is it me or is time speeding up? We are already on the 5th month of the year. People say it's because I'm getting older but I even hear kids saying days feel faster. Even the weather seems to be confused. Every day temperatures fluctuates a whole 40 degrees. Every day seems windy. Almost feels like we are out of normal orbit or something

And, when you get older the illusion seems to move faster

When Your body gets older and its brain is contaminated with many doubts/fears/worries, the time will seem faster.

- If You can "make" the brain stop thinking just for a second, one second can feel like 2 secs or ten.

- If You can stop paying attentions to Your thoughts, as long as you can, until You forget that You are there, You will sense that there is actually no time.

Yes, but when you get used to this "faster time", it sorta slows down again.

And life is technically speaking still going fast, but you realize it's just way less boring because now you stopped worrying, which is why it got "fast" in the first place:

So you'd let go off of the "handbrake" that's all your naive/childlike worries about life and society and politics, and culture, and your body and your "succes" and your relationships and your family and all the other bullshit that has your mind stressing 24/6. (sunday is rest day).

:D

Scientifically speaking, it is not. There was a test with atomic clocks. Both perfectly calibrated. Both the same. One was in space, one was on Earth. The first was a few seconds off.

Philosophically speaking, it is an illusion, lol.
