Have any of you ever wondered how fast time passes by?

Oh, I understand what you mean about re-visiting those fun times :D I've also often wished that I could do the same! I think it's such a good idea to keep diaries and blogs because as you said, they help to remember the good times :D

Wow! That's so awesome!! :D I can barely keep up with blogs for months. I get so busy/lazy after a few weeks of entries :P I think it would be fun to be able to keep diaries like that for so long like you are right now!! I would enjoy reading back on every entry from when I first started whenever I find the time :D I think I'd even go as far as to make it into an actual book just to keep it :]

I have kept diaries for years. Granted, I'm not a famous person or anything but for anyone exploring social history and the like could find them fascinating..I hope so anyway! When I started my diaries all those years ago I had no idea I'd still be writing in them some 22 years later!

yes, we should hugs the remaining this of our lives. We do not know, we might be able to live but the Earth will die in no time.

Yes! Definitely :] We have to take advantage otherwise we'd only be left with regrets.

I completely understand how you feel! Even though I also understand that this is what everyone goes through, I'm still scared too. And it is so true what you say that we should make the most of the days that we have because we really don't know what lies ahead of us. We can only have a guide.

That's very true. We all have to deal with it whether we want to or not because that's just how it is. It's just something that we all have to get use to, unfortunately. I definitely agree about living life to the fullest. We have such little time to live that we have to spend it wisely. Unlike money, you can't earn back time once it's spent. Haha, you do make a good point about not being like Peter Pan. It would be really difficult to see everyone moving on with their lives while, though young as I may be, I'm stuck where I am and I can't grow any older to do what others will have already done.

yes,it is definitely the unfairness of life. you can do whatever you want right this very moment but make sure that whatever you are doing will not be something you will regret in the future. yes,we can't earn back time.with money,you can always strive to get money.but you also have to take lots of sacrifices or efforts to gain money,right?same as life,we have to make decisions and sacrifices to live the life we wanted. you know,there are advantages of being like peter pan. you can do things cause you are always young.in real life,there are things we can't do when we get older.specially with jobs.ther'es always age limits. when you are always young,you always have the capability to do and strive more and gain more,cause you don't feel any sickness to disturb you from doing things you wanted to achieve in life.

Haha, I think I know how you feel too. We just get so wound up in whatever we're doing presently that we lose track of time, even for what seems like just a while, until we find that more time has passed by than we thought.

It does feel like that though doesn't it? Although I don't really fear old age, I think I just generally fear that I won't feel accomplished or satisfied. I think I also understand where you're coming from with the "purpose" of being here and what you're meant to do. I use to feel so lost trying to figure that out. But thankfully, I'm no longer lost. I'm sure you will find what you want to do. Just keep exploring and sooner or later, you'll find something right for you :]

Thanks, that's so sweet.

Yeah, I actually started to feel time pass by fast near the end of high school when I was a senior. I looked back at the years the passed and was shocked at how fast it all went. Oh, I know! It is a scary thought because you'd think it would take a while but in reality, things happen so quickly!

So true! Often times I think we think time is going to go at the same pace that we thought it was when we were kids. We didn't really realize then that it was going quickly, but now it's kind of become a reality.

I know! We don't realize these things when we're young, but when we grow up, it's like a whole new look at life. It does surprise me what we learn as we get older!

It does seem like that doesn't it? I remember not too long ago I was talking with my friends about the young celebrities whom we've seen in movies many years ago, to find out how old they are now! They all seem to be growing up so fast now! And I'm really not that many years older than them either!! I think it will also be the same for me as I get older. The more years that pass, the faster that time passes as well.

Oh, wow. That's a pretty interesting idea! I would really like to hear more on that :D

I know!! I'm actually kind of afraid that I'll end up waking up the next day to find out that I'm like 30 or something!! I'm afraid it'll feel something like that when it's almost that time! I don't wanna see myself too old either -

It's like that for me too! I think it's like that for most everyone, probably because we just want all that "boring-ness" to be over with so fast that it just seems like time is going by slower with our impatience. I'm also like you when I'm busy or occupied or having fun!! It's really a bummer to have the feeling of time going by so fast when we're having fun :/

Oh wow, what a blast from the past!! Meeting an old high school student must have brought back a lot of memories. I think a lot of us gets lost in what we're doing in the present, only to look back later and find that time went by a lot faster than expected.

I also feel the same way when I'm feeling down. I guess it's the negative or uneventful times in our lives that make it seem like time is going by slower than usual because we want it to be over with so quickly.

Haha, I think I can agree with you on finishing studies fast! I also want that too! However there are times when I just don't want the day to ever end, usually when I'm with my friends or family. But I think overall, I do want it to go faster, at least until after I'm done with my studies too! I hope that you don't have too many months or years left of your studies and that time will go by faster for you so that you can return home to your family :D

I definitely agree with you! Live life to the fullest because we don't have much time to live, so we need to do what we can to make the most out of every day that we get because each day is truly a blessing.

Haha, I know! I love it when it's almost Christmas and Christmas!! It does seem like it'll be forever until then, but I think it'll go by faster than we expected and the next thing you know, "It's Christmas!" My classes are starting again soon too!! It's such a bummer because summer went by too fast...again! Hahaha, I don't think anyone wants to grow old either :P Maybe to a certain age, but after they reach that age, they just want to stop growing xD

Yeah! Me too!! I notice that also! I think that's a very interesting idea about how we perceive time in relation to how we think. It's quite thought-provoking :D

Ooh, it sounds like a very good day in the future! :D Whatever the occasion, I wish you a lot of happiness!! ^.^

Ah, I think I'll probably start feeling close to that soon at this rate! :P I don't hate looking at old people, but they do unforunately remind me of where I'll be not too long from now. And for a mother of 5 at 42, I still consider that pretty young!! :D Looking on the brightside, I think it gives more motivation to take advantage of each day as it comes, especially since it feels like time goes by so fast!!
