Imagine you're playing your favorite game, and suddenly it's over, you didn't even notice how fast it went by! That's because when we're happy, our brains take in more information. Time feels faster because we remember more details from the fun moments. It's like watching a movie with lots of exciting scenes; time just seems to go by quicker!
