Do you find that time flies, and that years go by so fast. Well thats my feeling about time. The older you get, the faster it goes. I was born in 1960, and to me the best years were the early 80's. I find that things are so much more complicated today. The fun seems to be all gone away. When were your best years?

I agree!!! I was born in 1969 and I think late 80's were the best, but the last 4 years have been pretty good too. It all goes too fast. Jack

Yes, time does seem to fly by. I hope my best years are yet to come, but who really knows.

My grandfather was born in 1889. He said that time flies and it flies faster the older you get. It's been my experience that he was right.

I was born in 1945. My cool times were the entire sixties. But you couldn't properly appreciate the sixties unless you had lived throught the fifties: uptight, controlled, regimented, think "Pleasantville." I was certain I was never going to get laid, never.

Then came the sixties. Free love. No restraint. No authority. Dope smoking before lunch. Women chased guys to get laid. I thought we'd all died and gone to heaven. It seems like the sixties were forever ago. And will never come back.

And the passage of time is speeding up an unconscionable amount.

Granddad was right.

Time seems to fly, when you look back and wonder where the years went. I can't believe I have been married for 18 yrs, that my oldest son is almost 16, that I am 35, but feel 25.

Watching my children grow before my eyes, has helped me to to and appreciate that the time they are with me will not be much longer, and it is going by so fast. I think back at when they were little and I hate that time flys so fast, seems there was so much I missed out on with them. We were so service oriented and those meetings , took up so much of our lives.

I am trying to dig my heels in the ground , and hold on to the last years in my 30's. I sometimes feel like a teenager, because I am experiences new things , and look forward to the things I never got to do as a witnesss. It just pisses me off, that the WT took my younger years away. But at least I have some left. My parents in law , are older and have no youth left at all. So I am trying to stop and smell the roses, realizing there is no New World to do the things I put on hold. If I want to do them, it better be in this life.

Like you were saying LyinEyes, I also feel much younger than my age. I am 42 and I feel as if I am still 25. I look younger than my age also. So what hurts me the most is the reaction of others when I mingle in with younger people. They treat me as if I am an old man, when I FEEL so young. I can do all that I could do at 25. Still no difference, well not much of a difference.

Born in 1936. Loved the 50s, my teenage years but couldn't really say I liked any period better than another. I have loved the whole trip and it is about over for me. Time flies so fast that from one season to another seems like weeks, instead of months. Too bad it doesn't last forever.
