Time goes too fast

  1. Can anyone tell me why time goes so fast? It really sucks. I mean, the times that you want to go on forever, that you want to last longer, go so fast it's like they never happened. But things that you'd rather forget, that you want to rush right through, go sooo slow that you can be nothing but certain that they happened. Maybe this is the reason for people's inabilty to focus on the good things most of the time. Because the bad things seem to last so long, that the good things are like fleeting dreams that have never happened. Like holidays have been soo fun. They're supposed to last six weeks, but it only feels like a couple of days. Soon I'll be back at school again, and everything's going to end. Soon these holidays will be a dream and the rest of the year will be the reality. Good times will be there sure, but the bad times will almost easily overshadow them. So, my new year's resolution is to focus on the good, because there's too much bad to focus on. The good things will keep me going, but the bad things will make me want to lie down and give up on the world. So here's for the fleeting dream of the good times!!

    Every year gets quicker...worst reality I have faced! Or one of em...

    I think focusing on the potential of the day helps appreciate that day when it's gone. I try anyway. Like you said, focus on the good. I just extend that to really live every day as much as you can cause that day is gone.

    I find myself focusing a lot now on the memories of good things, and that keeps me stable through the bad. I always think that there's been worse and that soon everything will be better. Then the bad times roll on by, and the good times still remain for a while. It works for me. :)

    I guess time goes fast when you're having fun because you're focusing on the fun with your friends, and when you're in a rather unpleasant position, you're so focused on watching time it goes by slow. Sadly, I guess the situations could not be reversed. Oh well. Like Coldwriter says, every year goes faster. I have a strange theory to that. Maybe time goes by faster at (for example) 20, than five, because one year is a twentieth of your life, a smaller incrrement than, say, one fifth. And, like Evil Flamingo said, I try to hang onto the better memories in life. :D
