Back

Good morning.

Nowadays, I often lose track of time. Oh, I know time has passed, but events often feel more recent than they actually are. In a way, they are relatively recent. For example, when I was 10, a year ago was 1/10th of my life; when I was 20, it was 1/20th, and so on. Now, a year represents only 1/72nd of my life. I recently built myself a new computer with all the bells and whistles, but I find myself thinking that I just put it together—whether it was a year, two years ago, or even three. What once felt like a long time ago now seems like it just happened. I think what I’m describing is called the proportional theory of time.

"Time flies over us, but leaves its shadow behind." - Nathaniel Hawthorne
