I remember being a kid thinking waiting for an event that was 2 weeks away felt like 2 years away.
I remember school days feeling like it dragged on and on.
Now as a working adult, I can’t remember what day is is tomorrow or even today. My days bleeds in together in a good way.
As a kid, having less things to do was a factor. As an adult, you find there’s not enough hours in a day.
How do you remember experiencing time as a child?
In: Biology
A major portion of that is the fact that kids haven’t experienced as much time as adults. You take a 5 year old, and they only remember *maybe* four years of time, so going through nine whole months of school to get to the next grade, that’s like 20% of their life!
But when you’re 80, you’re looking ahead at a life you know is going to get shorter, and remember so much oflver the years, that the time just slips away.
It doesn’t help that kids tend to have more energy than the elderly, allowing them to physically do more in their time compared to an adult.
