While we walk,Time flies.

I was stuck in my head the other day, thinking about how difficult adulting is. This isn't new because I'm mostly in my mind, but it hit me differently this time.

"What gives that I’m in my twenties? Wasn’t it just yesterday that I was 18?"
"How come some people younger than me (there are a bunch of them on linked-in) seem to have their lives worked out?"
“How come I’m still here, trying to find out what I want to do with my life, set objectives, and figure out how to make money all at the same time” ?

I had over a hundred tabs opened in my brain, and I couldn’t figure out which one to close first. I pondered and cried about this for hours. I became broken, exhausted, and frustrated, but you know what? Time wasn’t broken, it didn’t wait for me. 
I looked at the clock and it was some hours past noon already. Time is so cruel, I yelled. It couldn’t even spare me some hours to reflect and be emotional. Wheeeewww, time really isn’t kind, is it?

Adulthood has taught me the value of time, especially nowadays when it seems like 30 seconds makes one minute. As millennials and GenZs, we sometimes feel a subtle pressure that time is going at a fast pace, especially when we haven’t met our set goals for a particular age.
When I realized that time isn’t my friend, I always strive to utilize every moment and second of the day. Sparing some time to visit friends becomes difficult because, in my head, I would have thought of a thousand and one things I would have done with that time.
This anxiety and concern for time later on develops into chronophobia—the fear of time.
I do experience chronophobia, partly because I am currently bombarded with numerous tasks that I cannot seem to finish and thinking that I have exhausted my 24 hours doing nothing. My fear of time stems from the fact that everything is happening too fast.

Why do people my age worry a lot about time? Well, as the generation that has been named the most anxious in history, I guess we can’t help it. For millennials and GenZs, feeling behind in life is a common theme. The idea that time is running out can bring forth a sense of dread that is both overwhelming and debilitating at times.
This is me sharing my worries. I am yet to know how to handle the fast pace of MR. TIME. Let’s have a discussion in the comment section. 
Are you chronophobic and how do you deal with it?.

Please share your thoughts. Cheers!
