I might be rambling here, but how is it even possible that the faster you go you perception of time becomes different. Why would going at light speed affect how much time passes for you? It’s weird how time, distance, and space can all be relative, but the speed of light can’t.

I have one advise: look up a good course on special relativity (there is a chapter on it in the feyman lectures if you don’t know were to start). Although it is hard to really understant, it follows from the statement that any observer sees light moving at the same velocity (comes from experiment) and some basic math.
We think it’s weird because we are not used to it. We live in a world were everything we can see moves at slow velocities (compared to light). It is hard to give an eli5 besides every experiment we have done afterwards says it is this way.
