It is Thursday again. It seems like it was only Thursday yesterday. Time is spinning so fast that it is hard to believe it. Where has the year gone? Where have many loved ones gone? Every year, time speeds by faster than the year before. When I was a kid, time crept by. Now it is breakneck speed. Am I the only one who discovers that it is Thursday again? Is time speeding up for you?

It was like yesterday. Remember the Y2K crisis that never happened? When everything was supposed to stop because the computer changed centuries?

@theBlock I had kids to worry about so I had a small grocery store in the basement. We ate mushroom soup for months.

I agree, while some days may be quite long, the weeks and years are flying by.

I have heard that the universe is going faster. Not exactly sure what that means, but yeah, I believe it.

The last time I check I am still a teenager and now I am 31. I miss being young and carefree. Now I have to pay taxes and pay my employees. I also have some paper works to deal with. I hate being an adult.

Yes it is. Maybe as we get older, we want to hold back time; it goes so fast!

Believe me, you're not the only one. Every week it seems like a shock to realize that it's almost over. I have been trying to get some knitting done ahead for Christmas, but it looks like I had better work faster! It will soon be September already.

It seems like it is always Thursday to me. We get past Thursday and suddenly, it is here again.

Overall it's been going faster since I graduated from High School. I think a lot has to do with a person's boredom level. If you keep yourself busy enough with work, friends and family then it flies by, but for those that tend to be bored throughout some or most of their days then their days go by more slowly. Some weeks seem to go more quickly than others for me, but overall it's much the same as it's been for many years now.

Some old people say that when you get older and older your time pass faster because of the responsibilities that you have school,work,kids and so on... and you have much more full schedule and not so much time for yourself thats why time pass faster that you use to... but i need to calm you thats only the feeling.... sorry but time flow stady
