Why Do We Feel That Time is Passing By Faster Than Ever?

Time seems to be passing by so much more quickly these days. This is something that we have probably heard countless times from the adults around us when we were children, and that we didn’t really understand or relate to at that age.

It can be at once surprising and terrifying to realise just how much time has passed by, and how it continues to race ahead of our expectations, dreams and ambitions. Considering that time is quite literally our existence, it’s natural to wonder why this happens. So, why do we have the feeling that time is passing by faster than ever?
