sometimes i feel that life is fast either when you are happy , enjoying things what you are doing or even if life seems boring and seems time does not seem to move at all. but after some time when we look back we will realize that time move fast indeed. but i would like to experience spending my life doing the things i want to do in life. i am quite sad that i can't do things like other people do normally. but it does not mean what i am doing is not profitable at all. what i spend my life to daily may prove be more productive and profitable in the end actually. but still i hope i can enjoy both world. be happy and at the same time doing productive things and do other things as well that can bring me personal happiness.

Time flies fast... but when you're bored you're always gonna feel that it's as "quick" as an ill snail in slow motion :D.

I am painting or drawing time seems to go extremely fast. I totally lose track of time and I forget everything but my art. Many hours after I started I suddenly discover that it is late and I totally forgot to eat When I do other things that I enjoy like for instanse when I read an interesting book I also think that time goes very fast. When I have some work that I need to finish before a deadline time goes especially fast, and I wish that I could stop the time for the while, but of course that is not possible, so I just have to get the most out of the time that I have got. When I am waiting for something like a bus or train I am bored and time goes very slowly.

To some, time is precious and always on the go to succeed. To others, it sorts of just passing by as there seems to be nothing going on with their lives. For me, there are days when i hope it would not end and hoping that time would just stood still as i feel quite happy all over. Then there are days, that i hope could sleep and wake up for a new day, lol!

For me, time always passes more quickly when I am enjoying myself. However, it also seems to pass quickly when I keep busy but I'm not necessarily having fun. For example, time at work seems to go by quickly as long as I'm focused on what I'm doing and I have a steady stream of new tasks. If I have nothing to do, the day seems to last forever.

For me the time goes faster when we are happy and slower when we are bored. But the time is fastest when we are busy. What i mean by busy is like you are working on something like playing video games non stop without looking at the time. Because admit it, at the time where you always look at your watch, you realize the time is slower and every time you watch the time always seems to not moving or just move about 5 minutes even though you feel like it's already half an hour. It's all psychology thing that we have in mind.

It seems this way sometimes when you are happy because you never want that time to end in your life. Time seems to drag on forever if you aren't happy with something. I guess it's just our intuitive self conscious to know what makes us tick and what's likely not to earn our interests.

time flies fast... whatever you are doing. we just feel it is slow when we think of too much about time itself. and it moves faster if we dont have much time to finish things that we need to finish. but after all of this and you look back. the bored and the happy times are all balanced. for there are times that you are so busy that you wish you have time to rest, and there are times that you have nothing to do and feel bored that wish you are busy.
