You measure time by seeing it fly.

Suppose there is a light in your living room. It is off. You turn it on, and you suddenly travel away from it at the speed of light. Just after you leave, someone shuts the light off.

That someone will see the light was on only for a couple seconds.
For you, the light will always be on (the image of when the light was on is traveling at speed of light, so are you).

Time is relative!
