Perception of Time

[The Hammer]

My perception of Time, compared to the average person is ****ed.

I'm reading some history stuff about my local area, so that I can set up an exhibit for the museum I'm working at. And I've realized thanks to some of what I've studied in school, the 1800s, still feels and reads like rather "recent" history to me. I don't start considering something as "old" historically until maybe the 15-1300's lol. Or pre-history deep time (before written records).

My time perception is also messed up.
The future seems to take forever to get here and everything in my past happened only a moment ago.

So, go sit outdoors in a quiet place. Look at your watch, then sit. When you think 15 minutes have gone by, check your watch again. I think you will find that your perception of time is wrong.

I'm actually really good at this game. My day to day time perception is actually rather accurate. Thanks to staring at my watch for 4-8 hours straight waiting to get off rotation on the ship lmao.

Time? Oh my - time. The 1960's were yesterday and a million years ago. Decades of my life are smooshed together. Weeks seem like hours and some hours seem like forever.

Time goes faster as you get older, relativity.

Looking at history, people are people, history repeats, it's all the same-old-same.

Ain't that the truthiest thing.

"15hundreds? All this newfangled stuff. Let's go see if we find something useful." - Me, at the museum.

But you are right, of course. The 1800s were recent, compared to the span of written history.
