Wasn’t it just October? What happened to November? The passing of time has become ridiculously fast for me, and it’s most distressing that our perception of time goes faster and faster the closer we get to the end of our lives. I had a digital clock with a seconds display on it when I was a child, and I remember watching a second go by and thinking that it was a pretty long span of time. Now I watch the second hand on my analog clock swoop around with the tiniest of pauses, and I wonder how it will look after another thirty years goes by. Scientists don’t need to make me live forever, I just want my childlike perception of time back.
