““As you grow older, there is a definite feeling that time speeds up. This is because the markers by which we measure our time become further apart. When we are children, every second of every minute counts; we want to fill our every waking moment with some form of excitement or activity. As we grow up and become teenagers, we begin making our own plans - scheduling activities on a day-to-day basis - so our concept of time is altered. We then reach adulthood and our working life begins. The majority of our time is spent working - often in a job we don't enjoy - and time becomes measured by the distance between the things we enjoy, such as the weekends. A year is no longer 365 days; it is just 52 weekends. Weekends then start to fly by, and then months, and before you know it is July 1st, and hasn't the year just flown by?””
![“Our life is made up of time. Our days are measured in hours, our pay measured by those hours, our knowledge is measured by years. [...] And yet time eventually runs out and you wonder in your heart of hearts if those seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years and decades were being spent…” quote by Cecelia Ahern](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/80d/cecelia-ahern-535_life_our-life-is-made-up-of-time-our-days-are_2029075.jpg)
