I would say that :
- when you are young it is an eternity
- when you are middle aged, it is short
- when you are old and look at the past, it is short
- when you are old and look at the future, it can be very long
I would say that :
Oddly enough, time hasn’t sped up for me and I’m almost 60. I’ve been married for nine years and it feels like 20, even when I look back. Everything seems like it was forever ago and everything in front of me seems like a long time. It takes forever to get to things I’m excited about and I’m not depressed. Sometimes I wish things were short.
You know life can be long
And you got to be so strong
And the world is so tough
Sometimes I feel I’ve had enough
John Lennon
