I pretty much live in the now so time seems to be consistent for me. I realize I have lived long and have longer to live yet. Each day is new and at times too long. Anyway, live fully and laugh as often as you can. Things will tend to work themselves out over time. Interesting and at times dramatic. Good luck in all you do.

No matter what happen in our life, we should be positive as everyday will be a new day,bad things may happen at times,but we have to face them when we wake up every morning. We should not have too much worries as when times go by,we may be able to find out the solutions for the problems.

Nope, I do not have a midlife crisis. I just live one day at a time and I try to fill my day with life. I do not plan much, I just enjoy working and accepting what the day might bring. It is a very rewarding life. The time passes just at the right speed. I am lucky.

Hello,inky261,nice to meet you. You must have enjoyed your life pretty much.Some young people from your country told me they had a stressful life.I am not sure whether the life for the adults in your country is like that or not.

There is no denying the fact that life is short. Ask any 100 year old person, how he feels. I am sure he will tell you that he does not realize how he passed these hundred years. He will tell you that everything seems to have happened so quick. For me also time flies. I am always short of time. There is so much to do in life. In modern times, things have become more challenging. We should take full control of time and put it to use. We should also enjoy life. Why to worry when life is so short lived. Let us live today. Let us believe that this is a wonderful world.

Life is short and that is why we should try to enjoy our life or we will be unhappy throughout our life. Time is fair to everyone as we all have 24 hours a day,so the important thing is how we manage our time well,some people always say they are too busy and get no time on something else,may be they should have managed their time better.

When I was little, I always felt the time passed so slowly. It was hard for me to wait for the summer holiday. Now it's different. I have grown up and I found time really passes so fast. Half a year have already gone. Hard to believe that my son is 3 years old now.

True,time seems to have pass quicker when we grow up as we are independent,not like when we were children,we may just stay at home studying or playing.Now, you have your children which you may even feel time is flying.

I do not think the time is passing slowly,in opposite,I think it is flying so fast that I can not realize it.and now I am in college,but I feel that yesterday I was in school,and was just a child,and played with my friends,but now,I will go to society next year,I will face up the tough real life,I will leave my parents' protect,and live on myself,I should take on all responsibilities alone.The change happen in a short time,it is so quick that I can not adapt now,I should spend more time to get it,and try my best to adapt the life on my own. How time flies.lol.....

True,the life being a student should be very happy as you should not have much pressure except examination,you will know the pressure when you are working in the society later,it is not like in school anymore. It may be a huge change for everyone from school to society.You do not need to worry too much,you will be able to adapt when times go by.

Hi, tracy1985. I'm feeling that way, too. I'm still a university student now like you. :) I do think that after we go to society, life will change a lot. There are more pressure we'll endure or bear than those school days. Sometimes I'll feel at a loss. ^_^ However, as time goes by, we have to face as it should be. I think we can adapt to it. Thanks for sharing. Have a nice day!

For me time is just going way too fast. My son just turned 6, and it is really hard for me to grasp that concept. In no time he will be a teenager! He still enjoys cuddling and holding my hand in public, etc and pretty soon he will think all of these things are gross. Makes me very sad to think of that, so I try really hard to cherish every moment that we have now.

I think your time will pass much quicker whne you have children,what you do everyday is taking care of your son,everyday may be similar and you do not even notice time flies,my parents also tell me it is like few days to see me grow from a baby to a woman. When children grow up,it is a normal thing to be independent,you do not need to be sad,in fact you should be happy because he really grows up.:)

Time for me is going really fast. I have health problems that occasionally affect memory and my sense of time. Sometimes, thing will seem like they just happened, but they really happened years ago. I can never remember when some things happened exactly, especially in the last five or six years, when my health problems started. Eventually, if I think about it long enough, I can remember. I tend to move slowly about a lot of things, so I never seem to get the things I want to do finished, lately. I wish time would slow down, except when I'm at work, then I wish is would speed up.

I also have my gardening of veggies, flowers and my Apple trees that make me happy. Also there is my wondeful sobriety that always makes me happy. So that's it for me. I try not to worry so I can have more fun and enjoy the time I have. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I find when I want to have something in a hurry, the time just drags on and on. When I want to have more time to do something and it is something I enjoy, it is like the clock just took wings. Sometimes I wish I could go back in time to take back the mistakes I made, but that is another subject. Well right now, I am typing and not out at my friend's place, and I would rather be outside. Future? We plan to travel, see places, be in heaven enjoying fellowship with God when I die, enjoy our grandchildren (none's here) hoping for more on the way, get a Mac, etc. I plan to concentrate more on my novel writing and be a published author.

When you are waiting for something like i am,time seems to be going very slow.I am lookig for some important mail and it seems it will never get it...In reality time actually passes very fast.I can look at my big children and think "where did the time go" It seemed only yesterday they were babies.It does not seem so long ago in my feelings but it has been a long time in years.I think time really passes way to fast...I just wish I could get that mail that i am waiting for ( a check will be enclosed) that is why time seems to be passing slow right now.

True,time will not wait for people and we have to treasure the moment we have,we have to move on no matter we are happy or not.We should not be get stuck with what happened in the past as we will have a new day tomorrow. Oh,how much is the check ?:PIt must be a big amount.

When we are engaged in interesting work we feel like time flying, but when we are engaged with monotonous work we feel like time is creeping. As for me time still is flying. I don't have much plans for the future, or I am not too much worried about the future. As the heroine of the novel Gone With the Wind says "Tomorrow is another day"

Time! Time is the foruth dimention We have learn before that the universe has 3 dimention but actually the time is the universe fourth dimention. Ok. sometime time pass fast, and another time pass slowly. It depend on human feeling either happy or sad. Any one should planned tih life time to make use of the time as much as he can.

Inspiring dream! I think my 10s was passing slowing but I definitely think my 20s is moving fast before me. I think time really flies when you get your interests going, indulging yourself in achieving your goals and stuff, then you enjoy everyday of your life and it tends to move faster. But if I am lost (sometimes) and don't know what my life is all about, then I tend to feel that life is passing me slowing (or killing me softly *laughs*). Right now, it's a little weird feeling for me, I do think generally time passes by me quickly, but at the same time, I feel that each day passes by me slowly because I am always count-downing the days till year-end when I could see my boyfriend in real. I guess I hate the waiting forever feeling.

I can understand the time when you are waiting for something is really hard for you,but as long as you find something interesting to kill your time,you will find 6 months will be passed very quickly. I hope by the time when you meet you boyfriend,you will be have a happy life with him and find time flying at that time:)

Well easy I don't really feel like talking so this is to give you a free bump. I am not sure if you understand this, but for me now, life is passing very quickly yet very slowly. I know this is a contradiction at face value but that's what happening to me.

I want my time to move in a moderate manner.But sometimes i feel its moving so quickly while looking back some matters relating to my school and college period.I feel my college days moved so quickly and i cherish those nice memories. I just enjoy to the full extent of my moment currently with family and friends.I see that i fulfill certain things as of now and make others happy with whatever i can.I never go into predictions with future and move about.

I find that time passes very fast, too fast until I cannot catch up. I had an enjoyable dinner with a friend just last week, exactly a week ago, but it seems just like yesterday. The memory still lingers. Perhaps it is human nature. We just want to live in the yesterday in good moments. I wished for more time to complete my assignment, however, time just passes by ignoring my plea for it to stop for a moment. I do plan goals, big and small ones. However, time too passes by disregard me achieving it. I now live in the present. Whether I make use of the precious time, or I wasted it, I just let it be. Sound pessimistic, but it sure is stress-free. lol. The only time when I find time passing very very slow is when I am in waiting mode, especially when waiting for the bus or for someone.

Time seems to fly by for me like a jetliner. I try to live in the moment and enjoy every thing I can from life for that reason. Every since my son has been born time seems to have taken off at mach speed. I swear it feels like I just brought him home from the hospital and he is now almost three.

You have experienced the tsunami,you were in singapore at that time?? Life is short and human beings are tiny,we may never know what happen in our life next,that is why we have to enjoy the moment and treasure all we have now or it will be too late to do so.
