    Strange lately i'm finding it very hard to wrap my head around what age I am ,
    Its not upsetting or anything like that I just genuinely can't believe how quickly iv gotten to this age,

    I have clear memories of certain conversations of things or events & can't believe how many years have passed since like how ,

    I wonder is there science behind time going quicker the older you get ,

    I think it's as simple as time becoming smaller relevant to your time you've been alive as you get older. E.g, a summer (3 months) seemed like a life time when you were 12 but you would only have been around for 48 months at that stage in your life so a summer was 16% of your life time then. (probably got the maths wrong! :rolleyes::pac:)

    I'm 39 now so a summer is merely 0.5% of my life time so I'm not surprised they seem to be a lot shorter nowadays.

    What I've started to do as I've gotten older is to assume I I'll live to 70 or 80 and then realise that if I'm correct then I've already lived half my life or more, it's pretty scary! It's a good kick up the ar$e sometimes as well though.
