I turn 40 in a few months. And time is going by faster as I get older.

I've noticed that too, and it terrifies me.

I believe that's because you have more time behind you. If you're 5 years old a year is a fifth of your life. But if you're 50 it's a fiftieth so it seems a lot less.

I'm grappling with this myself. It appears the answer is to always be doing new things.
