As I've aged I've noticed more how my own perception of time changes from days and even years and down even to minutes and seconds.
Some examples... For myself the past 20 or so years have really speeded up, but that is part of biology..I'm simply closer to dying of old age than I've ever been which by the way is also true for everyone. Every second of your life brings you closer to old age in general. Seconds on the other hand seem to drag on. Standing in front of the microwave oven waiting for water to get hot..It's agonizing! Even though it only takes a minute or so two minutes is still 120 damned seconds.. I have to go find something to get my mind away from the microwave or it just consumes me..Ok, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, but everyone experiences it..
Waiting for Sunday at 1pm during football season..I bet you know that one.. Waiting for football season in April.. You just can't speed that one up.
Traffic or lack of traffic..A red light at the wrong time..vs a nice drive to another county away on side roads..Always goes too fast..
How does your perception of time change depending on what you're doing at any given time?
