Why Life Seems to Speed Up as We Age?

Life feels faster as we get older because time seems to pass quicker, like a song that plays faster and faster.

Imagine you're playing with blocks. When you're little, each block takes time to stack, you count them out loud: one, two, three. But when you’re bigger, stacking the same number of blocks feels much quicker. That’s because each year adds more moments, but your brain doesn’t notice every moment clearly anymore.

When you're young, new things happen all the time, like learning to ride a bike or making a new friend. These big changes feel huge and take up lots of space in your memory. But as you grow older, life feels more routine, like eating breakfast every morning. Routine makes time feel shorter because it doesn’t change as much.

It’s like having two clocks: one that ticks slowly (when you’re little) and one that ticks faster (as you get older). You might not notice the clock changing, but your brain does!

So even though time keeps going at the same speed, your brain gives more attention to new things when you're young, making life feel slower. But as you grow up, you have less new stuff to focus on, and that makes life seem faster!
