Besides what people already said relating to the amount of time making time size relative , and memory affecting perception

I also like to think adult life is full of too much work, the amount of time you are actually living your own life is way shorter compared to when you were a kid, a teenager and even young adult in some cases. Not forgetting that the time working isn't only the hours clocked, there is a lot of indirect work time, for example commuting .

I wish I could work 30 hours a week, probably 6 per day, and still get a good salary/ money.

It's the "pie of life" idea. When you're 4 years old, you have a pie sliced into 4 equal peices, 1 for each year. Each slice represents what a year feels like. Pretty long at first.

But then at 20 years you have 20 slices, now imagine that same pie is sliced into 80 peices, each slice is so thin, that's what 1 year "feels like" to you.

Something I heard once is that days go slow, years go fast.

I wouldn't say "never". Eventually, some of them will get old and understand it firsthand.

Though the worst part is how perception of time is inversely proportional to enjoyment of said time.

Well of course youth seems like a blink when all that's left of it is memories

Well heres the thing Norm. I think being dead is more peaceful than going to work a majority of my life. Doesnt scare me to take a prolonged dirt nap.

There is actually some science behind this. People's perception of time literally speeds up as they age. Our youth feels like forever, our young adult years still feel long and at that point it all feels like it will be forever, and then you blink and you're 56 wondering where the time went. It's a really well known phenomenon.

Cheetah sure are amazing!

I do understand the truth. That's why I am too terrified every day to get anything done. 👍

And that's why we always wear a condom.
