Enjoy the vacation! Hard to believe it's February already, feels like it was just Christmas the other day.

Fun fact. When a baby is one year old, that year is it's whole life. When he turns two. That year is now half of it's life experience.
Take this to ten years old. Now a year is one tenth of his life experience. Keep aging until and each year is a smaller and smaller part of ones life. At 60 or more years old, a year is getting pretty small
This is supposedly the explanation for why time seems to pass by faster as one ages
And this may also explain to some degree as one ages one also has a harder time with short term memory but can recall things from earlier in life with great detail. As memories start to fill up, they seem to be coming at a faster and faster rate. And with the space already pretty full finding "somewhere to put them" in less and less time becomes harder and harder for the brain / mind to do.
It's kinda like when your hard drive on your computer is getting full the computer starts to run much slower. But the data coming in is coming at the same rate it always has. The neurons having to make connections or however it works, becomes harder because most are already made and trying to make a new and unique path is much more difficult.
I can agree to this. But lately I have been slowing down and enjoying the little things in life. I would always grind to get to a certain goal and not focus on anything else. I noticed it seemed like my days got longer
have kids, that goes awayI can agree to this. But lately I have been slowing down and enjoying the little things in life. I would always grind to get to a certain goal and not focus on anything else. I noticed it seemed like my days got longer
. honestly, they make you realize your age too because they are evolving time capsules of your past!I think I’ll stick to vehicles, I can let them sit if I lose interesthave kids, that goes away
That just might be the key to enjoyment. As a kid everything is new. It's all a learning experience. Everything wows you. There is fun in everything. Life is great. No responsibilities. Someone else cooks your meals, does your laundry. Drives you around. You get to play in the dirt and ride bicycles.I can agree to this. But lately I have been slowing down and enjoying the little things in life. I would always grind to get to a certain goal and not focus on anything else. I noticed it seemed like my days got longer
Now everything we do is geared for a goal. Can't waste any time. Have to go to bed because I have work in the morning. Need to buy groceries. Basically the rat race
So finding the time to not have any schedule or plans and just enjoy the moment can be beneficial. Go back to the days you where young and find something new that you haven't ever noticed before. The way the bee crawls over the flower. Or the sun reflect off the water. Etc. Life will slow down and become interesting again.
Some of the best shit I’ve read on the inter web in a while. Thank you for that.
I agree, there are ways to slow time down. The easiest hack is leave your phone somewhere.I can agree to this. But lately I have been slowing down and enjoying the little things in life.

Finding time to just appreciate life is hard, yet so needed. Honestly that’s my favorite part of “camping”
No cell service, just present moment. Something I need to focus on more,
That is part of the reason why I never take pictures or videos of anything. I want to see it with my eyes and remember it not see it through a screen and remember to hit record.
There are exceptions to that obviously but for the most part I keep that philosophy. I have 19 photos and 1 video on my phone. Every single one is a picture of my trucks or car except for the video lol

I do get my phone out to take pictures, but I don’t live through the screen. It helps me to be able to look back and remember those moments.
For example. My son’s birthday overland trip last year, seeing him just enjoy life and be in the moment really pushed me to do the same.

I'm a little hard core when it comes to removing tech and media from my life, which is interesting considering that is the field I currently work in and am trying to get out of. Wonder if there is a connection there...
Yes you are right. Special moments like with family often times meet the exception, I am sure I will have a similar feeling as well when I get to that point. I do know people live their life through the screen nowadays, just don't think they appreciate life.

I'm more like that now. I used to bring my Nikon everywhere. I used to shoot all the family events. Even did a few weddings. Reunions, etc. But I always felt left out and more of an observer rather than a participant. So I started leaving the camera at home. Now I take a minimum of photos. Mostly for practical purposes, like needing to show others. Work or documentation. Or just to show here
