When you were a kid, a day was a long time and a year was a long time.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My childhood was endless - from eight to 18 felt like hundreds of years.
I never thought I'd live this long. It sounds funny because I still think of myself as a kid.
There was one year that I was on the road.
As you get older, the days have gone, and the years have gone, and it's 'whoosh!'
So when I was 13, I basically left home and never returned and lived at home again. I would come home for a week at Christmas and two weeks in the summer only.
Well, most grown-ups forget what it was like to be a kid. I vowed that I would never forget.
Each day is a different length of time and that gives a different length to the cusp between light and darkness or darkness and light.
Our subjective experience of time is highly variable. We all know that days can pass like weeks and months can feel like years, and that the opposite can be just as true: A month or year can zoom by in what feels like no time at all.
The days are long, but the years are short.
In youth the days are short and the years are long. In old age the years are short and day's long.
