Eli5 why does time “fly” in times of enjoyment but seem to drag on when we are uninterested in what we are doing or what is happening?

I’ve been pondering this one for a while and really can’t figure it out.

Unsure of your age.. but if you’re under 35……

Take pictures. Enjoy everything you can. Youll find time flies faster and faster the older you get.
You wait forever to get a driver’s license. Then, seems like forever to be 18. Then a super long time to be 21. Then all of a sudden you are 25, insurance cost drops, so youre kinda ok w that. Then 30. As soon as youre used to having a great time in your 30s (my favorite), 40 starts creeping. You for get that and fuck your 45. Then 50. The whole time you feel like youre the same dude waiting for your drivers license at 15, 11mos old but fuck, it hurts to run. When did that happen? Why do old looking women stare at me? Oh yeah, im their age. No one feels like that though. You will be 60 and think as you do now. Never sleep in, enjoy everything. It goes fast.

Enjoy everything. Drop the people in your life that give you friction. Seriously if someone doesn’t provide you with anything beneficial, drop them, there are sooooo many great people out there. Life goes alot faster than you think. Bam! Youre old.
