Our sense of time is heavily influenced by our emotions and the intensity of the experience.
When we're having fun or feeling excited, time seems to fly by, but when we're bored or stressed, it feels like it's dragging on. This is because our brain is wired to prioritize the present moment over the passage of time. This phenomenon is known as 'time dilation,' and it's not just a figure of speech – it's a real psychological effect.
