Doesn't life go by too quick?

Aren’t there times in life when it feels like days simply aren’t long enough?

When it feels as though we were stuck on a loop of living the same sequence of events over and over?

Enter: fast-time

Fast-time is what I call it when you’re living your days doing so many things and yet being so focused that each night, when you go to bed, you wonder where the time went.

It’s not necessarily a bad thing.

There are fast time epochs where the work is so passionate and engulfing that we just find ourselves immersed in it, and outside of time.

There are times when we just lose account of the passage of moments due to the monotonicity.

The takeaway is that there will certainly be days when time seems non-existent. It’s both painful and joyful.

We might regret that days are going by so quickly without our full appreciation.

We might love being lost in our personal journey, too. Depends.

If there’s no room for looking back, or around, and we find ourselves engulfed in the whirlpool of events of our life, time will seem to fly.

The lesson: we can spend all day doing “things“, but if we do not put them into perspective, no moments will be memorable, and no time will feel “real“.

As a bonus, let me introduce the concepts of moments outside of time:

Moments outside of time: when something so outside of the norm happens that your mind, it feels like, is simply unable to put that event into the usual succession of events.

When something so remarkable takes place, either for the good or the bad, that no categorization is possible. It could be thoughts/states of mind too. When you have a day so good, or so bad, that is seems to lie outside of the life you were just living.

Isn’t time amazing? How its passage or seeming freeze-out can affect our experience of life so much? The feeling of life?

I want you to pay close attention to the feeling of how it flows… It’s remarkable.
