Jonbu the baker

I feel like I’ve wasted a Friday afternoon doing nothing. Best to put out a blog before I sleep tonight.

I want to share with you someone’s theory on Time Perception.
Over a team lunch, someone old and (possibly) wise explained, a year’s time will only feel shorter as you age, because it’s shorter relative to your lifetime. So in my words, for a 2-year-old, one year is a long time. It “feels” like half a lifetime. For a 50-year-old, a year is short. It’s only 2% of what he has experienced though his lifetime.

The guy has a point. But I don’t want years to feel shorter. There’s something off about that theory. but I can’t put my finger on it. The worse thing is, I actually do feel that a year is shorter than it was when I was a kid, in the same subtle way that buildings and rooms used to be bigger.

Can sleep now.
