Question

Why does it feel like time is slipping away from us? Are we getting that old so fast, so soon?

Answer 1

Darling that is all up to you. If you feel your going too fast you need to change something, vice verse. For me I think it is better to always change every now and then so you can learn to adapt(now that doesn't apply to cheating on someone every now and then, I'm sure you know what I mean, I just had to point that out to some of the ignorant people on here). If a person remains the same all their life it will lead them to an unsatisfactory ending.

Answer 2

time goes fast but not slipping away. we only think it is.

Answer 3

It's a state of the mind. It won't be like that if you don't allow yourself to feel that way.  But then again, we go through a lot in this here we call life.  Sometimes, life suck big time. Sometimes, we feel on top of the world.  Speaking for myself, I just go with the daily flow - okay today, bleah tomorrow.  I get by. :]  

Answer 4

Life is short and that's what it is... I'd rather think about something else.

Answer 5

One day i woke up & realized i was a 12 y/o kid trapped in a 20 somethings body. I just keep wondering what happened overnight.

The good thing is, i don't feel that old. :)

Answer 6

Not really.  But sometimes when we are so busy, so engrossed in something we are so passionate about, we don't take notice of time.  It is only when we become idle or dormant that we take stock of how the days went by and just then, notice how time has flown so fast without our knowing it.

Answer 7

YUP! IT SUX  

Answer 8

Either we are the anomaly in the time continuum, or the world itself is the anachronism.

We shall never get old.  We shall always be younger than springtime.

"As long as there's a song to sing.  And we will stay younger.  We will stay younger, than spring."

Answer 9

time is relative to mind. when your mind is fast so thus the time around you.

Answer 10

no, time is not getting away so fast nor us getting old soon. WE just have a lot of things to do that keep us busy.. like work.. school etc etc... Modernization makes time flies so fast. Try living without a work, not going to school, without a radio, tv and without an internet... You'll notice that time would seem to get slow and you'll get bored of waiting.  

Answer 11

good question,yes thats what i suspect,I'm still thinking,hmmm,live life fast and get it all in,oh oh is that the grim reaper i see!

Answer 12

But I do not feel like time is slipping away.

My formula for this is to enjoy every bit of life, every minute of it. With enough time to keep us busy, and enough time for recreation. If it is all recreation, time seems not to move. If we are always busy, time will tend to slip away. Thus, a healthy balance will make us feel our time, all of it, is well spent. That it is all quality time.

Answer 13

Yes every second that goes by we are getting older and the older you get the faster the year seems to go.

The funny thing is that some think that by grossly lying about their age this will stop, or at least, slow this process down but it doesn't.

Answer 14

Ya i think so and that's bad.
