Time passing by

SilentStranger · Posted: Sun Aug 12, 2007 8:15 am Post subject: Time passing by

Does anybody feel the time passing by?

I feel particularly conscious about time and age during my birthdays and new years etc. No its not my b'day today, but a big one is not too far away. It remember I used to think about this a lot when I was in school/uni as I graduated from each grade.

Lately I seem to float from one stressful period/event at work to another. (And yes a big one is approaching). Just seems like thats what I have done for last few years. Not really improving SP or progressing my life in a real sense.

How does others cope with it? Does your feelings of time passing buy get worse as you get older or you get used to it?

I am particularly interested in hearing the views of older ones here. And thats another thing, do you & why do you consider yourself old?

Yesss...times going by fast, before I left school, I used to daydream I wouldn't have social phobia after I left, and that I would get a good job and be all successful, go to my high school reunion one day and say, haha, f**k you all!!!

But here I am three years later and nothings changed....the whole worlds changing, but I'm not Rolling Eyes

i also feel that the world is changing... but im still the same. friends move in and out of my life and yet they seem to be going about their own business and their own lives while im stuck here, jammed to a halt. ): life goes by too fuckin' fast and im afraid im never gonna do anything in my life.

When I was in seventh grade- the night before it began, I was awfully distraught over how much time had suddenly, I thought, passed. D;
I still get like that occasionally, three years later.

But, oddly, I always need to know what time/day it is. If I don't know, I get a bit paranoid.

I used to think the same, the myriads of humankind always pushing onwards in the (futile) effort to enjoy and work out life. Its a rush, no doubt about that partly because of death and partly because of this thing here we are discussing. Progress and prehaps the 'theme' that is commonplace. (sub-paragraph thing: I forget my age sometimes, since I dont do birthdays, so meh I dont care ^^)

From my perspective people learn all the time, progress goes hand in hand with base functions such as walking. To live, is a funny thing to say, to live is to 'get a life'?

So does that make me dead? Laughing

.

No of course not. I have finally come to know what is 'life' and in reality and obviously, everyone is living it right now.

I think its great watching the world change, but do things in your own comfortable pace. If I cannot do things as fast as my friends in the office (metaphorically speaking) then so be it. Personally I give thanks to the living god what I do have and have learned to understand (im not active in religion either).

As ego-brained as it is, when someone says get a life to me I just feel inclined to ask "Define this 'life'" or simply "You do not know life". Regardless! Time is running out in the grand scheme of things anyway Wink

definitely, more so these past weeks.

i keep telling myself 'damn, not many more years and i'll be 30...and 40 is around the corner'.

the thought has almost been intrusive lately.

When i was in school time seemed to drag along and i could not wait to become a teenager, yet since i started working at 19 time seems to have gone so fast! I used to think that it'd be a long time untill i reached 20 years old and now i'm 26! My parents were married and buying a house at 22, and i feel like i have failed at life. People always say that ''you have your whole life ahead of you'' but i feel like my life is over.

Time seems to have excelerated as I have got older. It scares me, I feel like I'm on the Pause button while the World plays out in Fast Forward. I am in my early 30's and in my experience - time flies regardless of having fun. Sad

Yeah definatley can relate to this Confused

(heya to any long time users who remember me btw.. havnt posted in monthhsss.. and had to make a new account cos im a dumbass and forgot my password)Im only 22 and i kinda feel like my life is over already,I dont think its particulary how old i am its just how fast the years are going by.. and the people i use to know,old mates ect.. there settling down having kids.. working there way up to good jobs ect and im still in the same posistion.Even the scumbag dealers on this estate and all the users have more of a life than me Confused

I am scared its not gonna be too long till im old and bitter looking back wishing i had made somthing of the lost time said fuck sp and done somthing with my life.But still each year i live the same.. scared to go out and try and change.

But i guess thats the horrible thing about sp,we know how precious time is but it forces us to sit on the sidelines and watch the world go by while we stand still.Anyway sorry for the negative ranting im always a negative bastard round christmas.
