Time as a construct

The passage of time seems to be an endless cliche.
I have a theory on time relevant to consciousness.
The conscious human mind has a time span from birth to about 100. This our current baseline.
Given that baseline, it seems that time passes quicker the older we get. I’ve thought too much about this. Perhaps it’s because I’m aging. Regardless.
As a child I yearned to be, let’s say, 10. As a 9 year old, the thought of 10 seemed to be a millennia. That was 1/9 of my life. Seemed to be forever.
As I enter my forties it seems there is a definite and precise acceleration of time. Directly related to the ratio of years spent conscious. Every year that passes seems to pass a smidge shorter than the previous. This can not be a coincidence. I’m fully aware that this can never be proved. Just needed to get it out of my head.

I liked that it shows a finite end to a life. I used to believe I didn’t have a body and was trapped in a laser on a CD in a computer…so I like that there’s an end to every life. sounds morbid. I can’t explain it…it is better to have an ending…I’ve been where there’s no ending to life and that is horror.

Time is nothing more than a man-made measurement after all.
