Why Time Feels Fake
One minute you’re nine years old, watching Saturday morning TV and thinking adults are ancient.
The next minute your younger sibling is suddenly an adult, pop stars are younger than you, and you’re like:
Sorry?? When did this happen??
Time doesn’t move in a straight line.
It jumps.
It skips.
It suddenly fast-forwards when you’re not looking.
Some memories feel like they happened yesterday — you can still feel them in your chest — while entire years disappear into a blur of “wait… what did I even do then?”
I think time feels fake because our brains don’t measure life in years.
We measure it in feelings.
Moments that mattered stick around.
The rest quietly fades.
And maybe that’s okay.
Maybe that’s proof we were actually living.
Because if time feels fake…
it’s probably because life happened faster than we realised.
