How is it possible that time can be relative?

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.

As I understand your perception of time doesn’t change at all. You perceive the time just as normal as someone not moving at near lightspeed. But given enough time you will say you spend a day in space and someone on earth will say you’ve been gone a week. By no means are my words precise but theyre descriptive.

There is also the famous light trapped inside two mirrors concept, I recommend checking that out. It helped me greatly increase my understanding of this.
