This year is over already?

December 12, 2009
Transfer from my journal.

This year flew by so fast. Its as if the older I get, the faster time goes by. Not only that, but a lot more happens in the span of a year. I remember as a child, though the years have blended together in my memory, dragged on for quite a while, and many of my days were routine. Not all of them, though, by any means. Young me had plenty of hectic days. Now, at the end of every year, I find myself saying

"Wow! This year went by so fast!"

And it truly feels so. Even though I know that it isn't true: every year is the same length, time and time again. Maybe they're just seeming to go by faster because I'm having more fun? I hope so. I just hope that the time doesn't fly by so fast that I'm my parent's age before I know it. I know I'm going to miss being a kid.

I think I'd like to savor my youth as long as possible. At least I still look and act like a twelve-year-old boy most of the time.
