Time can feel faster or slower depending on how we look at it, just like how a toy car seems to zoom by when you're little but moves slowly when you're older.
Imagine you're sitting in a train that's moving. If you look out the window, everything outside looks like it’s going by really fast, trees, people, and buildings all seem to rush past you. But if you close your eyes and just listen to the sound of the wheels on the tracks, time feels calm and steady.
Now think about playing with your favorite toy every day. At first, each day seems super long because you're so excited. But after a while, when you play with it all the time, days start passing by faster, like how your toy feels familiar now, and you don’t notice the time as much anymore.
Perspective is like looking at time through different windows, some make it seem fast, others slow. It’s all about what catches your attention and how much you're enjoying the moment!
