Coined by psychology writer Claudia Hammond, the Holiday Paradox refers to the idea that when we go on vacation, a week or even two weeks seem to go by so quickly we can barely believe that we had a vacation at all. Yet when the vacation is over, and we look back on it, it feels like it was much longer than just one week.
Why does this happen? And what can we do about it?

Isn’t it weird how the internet was once a place to get away from the world, now the world is a place to get away from the internet.
Wow simple yet true. I took a break from social media and it’s hard to want to spend so much time on it anymore. UA-cam plays in the background while I can be more productive. Also my mental health is a lot better worrying about my own life.
It's fascinating how the dynamics have shifted over time!
@@ApertureThinkingAgreed.
I feel like i learn more from being on the internet. Just walking around outside and looking at the sky and nature makes no sense to me. Maybe it's just my Fomo speaking idk lol.
True story.
Im afraid of waking up at 70 and wondering where all my life went
Then live it , as its over before you know.
It will happen
Me too
I’m afraid of waking up in a new bugatti

As children, one tends to be in the moment, present. As one ages, they tend not to be present but be living in their heads, living in the past or worring about the future.
hi .. this is why it's essential to take the time to pause... we tend to label young people LAZY for not doing things... well, breathing in and out is doing a thing. Sitting and listening to the wind blowing through the leaves is doing a thing. I enjoy looking at the sky and watching my thoughts come and go.
This highlight why meditation is so important in today and age.
As children have been given devices with distractions designed to addict humans using simple but highly effective psychological and physiological research-based methods.
Now some parents are depriving their kids of bright colors, outside time, plopping them in front of ipads, and letting them mindlessly scroll through dozens of videos trying to sell them something or warp their idea of themselves. A lot of these kids never got to, and never will be able to be kids. The newer generations will start to feel like us younger and younger. I wish we could turn back the clock.
Every circle begins with its end.

My grandma once told me “Life’s like unraveling a ball of yarn slow at first but speeds up the more you go”.
I get clowned on by my family for always "getting into new hobbies". Something always told me the purpose of life overall is to experience as much as we can while we're here. This video now affirms that belief.
My dad once took me to the museums in Chicago, just me and him. I was fascinated with ancient history so I pulled out my device and began to film every artifact, even focusing in on the plaques describing the more interesting ones. He asked me what I was doing and I told him I never want to forget any of this so I’m filming it. He laughed and said good job son. Was my favorite vacation ever. Just one thing though, my ‘device’ was simply my hands held in a rough square shape in front of my face. This was in the mid 80s. I called it my video recorder but of course we couldn’t afford one. 3 years ago I took my wife to see all the same things there(being very careful, it is Chicago) and I took so many pictures with my phone. Still wonderful experience and she loved it too. I can’t help but feel my late father was there with us in spirit. Thanks Pop!
thats deep bro
That's such a cool memory, thanks for sharing!
That’s what life is really about.
Bro uploads on what everyone's mind currently thinks about
Sisyphus 55 feels similar, I am starting to think that we (the viewers of such content) may simply think similarly to each other.
He probably uploads what we are most interested in
He’s inside my head and knows all my thoughts and makes videos to answer my questions 😂😂😂
Sir was just a Bro last month.😁
Man, seems like just yesterday I came here for “shower thoughts,” even though it was years ago….Time sure does move differently than it used to for me.
Indeed🎉
I concur........
You’re still traffic
Same here body 👁️
I still feel like a teen despite being an adult now. I feel like living in 2020 still. Did covid ruin my perception of time? I don't know
As someone who is currently in the late teens age range, I guess it's about time to go out more to make some memorable memories
Kinda crucial for you my boy i can’t lie
Time is the *only* resource. And something everyone needs to face is that every circle begins with its end.

I’m 18 rn and getting emotional over this, I don’t want to have already experienced most of my memories, it’s not enough
It’s true…
just wait I just turned 30 and I still feel 19
There’s a lot that’s gonna happen trust me, except you’re doing nothing then yes, time will just… fly.
If you believe that your whole life you will never be pleased you have to find meaning and purpose in the little things that make you smile
You can find an extension warranty but you'll need to look for it first. Hope is a good offer as well as meaning. Add in a dash of meaning and you've got yourself a life worth living. The key is to just keep living. Eventually you'll see that you've created much more memories than when you were 18. If you even maintain your memories from then.
Was talking with my partner about this. We are in our mid 40s.
So crazy how fast life is now.
Indeed😮
Yup....I'm 41 .....and now the classic music is 80s shite.......
WTF 😒,.......
I turned 40 and it all flew by 😢
48, and it feels weird to my ear to say it out loud..it seems like high-school and college were just yesterday, how did that happen??
@@elisamontrose-roback676I'm also 48, and I still am having trouble accepting it. I still feel like I'm 30. Wish it was legal to change birth years. I'd pay for that.
My dad once said “life is like a roll of toilet paper, at first it goes by slow and you’ll think it will last forever, but the closer you get to the end, the quicker it goes.”
real shit.
As a child, we had no comprehension of the importance of time or how limited it is. Once you comprehend the value of time, it starts to fly by
But time is not real... how can something that does not exists have such an importance?? ...what an irony...
When I was little I thought my mother remembered every day of her life, because I did. I thought.
Ultimately, only the key and crucial moments remain. And if a soul is rather unlucky, the majority of these memories will revolve around trauma. And why? Simple. Because sometimes, the negative experiences FAR outweigh the awesome ones. That's just how it is sometimes; it's not a person's opinion, it's just reality.

Time is the enemy😮

I want to live again and make the most of it!
Me too
It all makes sense now. At 48yo I’m bored, in a midlife state but not freaking out. Just all these thoughts about the passage of time, nothing feels exciting, I’m burned out from long work hours, where is it all leading to, omg my parents are in their mid-70’s and so on. The days, weeks, years are flying by so fast, just a weird place in life.
Journaling is the single best thing you can do. Try to at least write something at the end of every week/month/year and you will be so thankful to yourself later.
Time perception is only as complicated as you make it. The paradox is that by simplifying your perceptions of the world around you, the time it takes to evaluate your surroundings passes more efficiently.
it's just math. if you're 1 year old, 1 month is 1/12 of your life. 10 years old, 1 month is 1/120 of your life. we perceive our total time alive so measured amounts of time are smaller slivers of the overall pie, and so they feel smaller, or faster.
I lived in another country for a while. I didn't speak the language well and I was constantly engaged because I couldn't afford to be on autopilot with new people places and things. I realized that being in the moment is what makes time full, meaning, not squandered but really experienced. Don't live mundane days without new experiences and stay in it. Then, time doesn't just poof, vanish unfairly.
This is so true, elementary for me was like a century
Bro i remember finding your channel in my sophomore year in college when you were still small and remember thinking damn these are cool videos and each one to this day is so captivating and beautiful. It makes appreciate life like i really should. Im gonna get my ass out of my bed and go to the gym dude, i cant just watch this and continue being a lazy bum. I love u aperture.
Idk it feels like time moves quite a bit faster since covid atlest for me.Idk maybe it’s the more great memory’s I had or most of us had or maybe we are all on copium about our childhood and times where we didn’t have responsibilities and could just hang out with friends and have best time ever, could be just nostalgia in different way…
Im 32 this year and tbh yes I agree with most of the vid. However, a MAJOR catalyst of this was the pandemic. It’s stole like 3 years of all our lives, and nothing has been the same since, here in the UK, all the services that used to work half decent have never gone back to pre-pandemic levels, everything has been automated or halved in output, I have been trying to get a doctors appointment for MONTHS.. what used to be the norm to get an emergency appointment is now the the norm for a normal appointment.. it doesn’t work at all. That goes for almost all services. Along with the internet, what used to be an escape from the world has now flipped on its head and I use the world to escape from the internet.. I absolutely hate this corporate consumer driven internet mentality.. almost no services available have human interaction. Everybody hates each other now, more than ever before. The world has gone backwards.
Corporation runs everything. The things happening is part of their money making scheme. You can just tell the pattern on all the dramas and events that's happening. Is all generic artificial garbage.
Yes i agree its gone backwards
36, I already know everything you're saying as you say it 👍
I feel like I was 30, 2 years ago.
Tiktok scrolling really is one of the factors that makes time move fast as our brains are immersed... it's really taking year from our lives😢
This chanel answers questions that stuck in my head in last few years. First time it was done by video about urge to jump and now is this one
The days are long and the years are short. Time is slow, and time is fast
Having psychadelic trips by myself was the strangest time felt. 2 hours could feel lioe more like thinking faster made time appear to go slower. Just like the flash superhero in movies
Time lost all meaning to me. Couldn't even remember what I did in school the day prior, couldn't figure out what to do in that moment.
I realized afterwards, there is only THIS moment. Time doesn't exist.
Time dilation. An effect also present in dreams. Could be 10, 100, even 1000x slower than actuality.
I felt this time flying since I was in 10th grade. Now, I just accept this as part and parcel to this miserable (and wonderful) existence.
I have been thinking about exactly this topic recently. Thank you for making this
You're so welcome!
I never really stressed about anything until i learned what stress was. Kinda funny how that works
Hahah
I've wondered if it has something to do with the development of our brains, personalities and bodies. When time felt the slowest, in youth, we in a state of constant growth and change, improvement if you will. There were a lot of new experiences as well, pleasant and unpleasant, which also left a mark in our minds. Both as we reached adult stage after our brains and bodies had stopped growing and attained their peak form, and life perhaps, for some, became more mundane and routine, our perception of time changed accordingly. Maybe the trick then is to force ourselves to keep learning, or to try new experiences.
"Youth and high spirits, time will take care of that" Elwood P Dowd in Harvey
Good memories are the beautiful moments in life that were whispered into time much too quickly.
I love the videos with my entire soul, thanks for teaching me so many things over the years :)
Another aspect to it is everything looked twice as large. From your small child perspective, being half the size of an adult, it makes sense everything would feel twice as big and distances twice as long.
Good point actually
I don't look back with nostalgia at all but it does suck how fast it goes by. Every day that passes the faster it goes, until you get to the point one whole year feels like barely one month. Holy shite! What an uplifting, galvanizing thought!
I’m not old, but this was a very informative short! Keep up the good work.
Very interesting read, have you written any other books?
5:43 i felt this really intense firsthand when i broke my arm when i was 12, i was riding home from a friends house for lunch and fell in a way that broke it. I was like 2-3 houses away from my own and it takes like 1 minute to walk home, yet that distance felt like a mile and walking home felt like it took an hour
you was experiencing every moment to the fullest.
I crushed my knee when my friend drove into a wall when I was 21. I had 3 months of non-weight-bearing on that leg, meaning absolutely no weight at all on that leg (had crutches for 3 months.)
That 3 months felt like forever. Now 3 months feels like a week.
" Time Flies, but unfortunatly for us humans evolution never gave us wings "
If u think about it this statement is deep its not about the actual wings but about how we cant bring back the time thats lost ...the same way we cant catch the bird that flew away .cause we cant fly
Even if there is one I can't think of anything, not just humans, that wields the wings that can glide back & forth through the fabric of time.
It ofc sometimes feels melancholy that the time has passed & the moments we lived could not be lived again. But what can we do about it... idk... Perhaps the ideal way is to cherish the completed & embrace the impending onsets.

It is frightening to think that everything we experience could be a five-minute memory before long.
I think it’s cause when we’re younger we look forward to getting older then we can do more things. Once you’re older you drink alcohol or indulge in substances to feel mentally young again or feel nothing at all.. Making events more fun etc.
I've never had an instance of dreaming to be an adult as a child. I Just didn't care, I couldn't even grasp the idea of being old and young at the time.
Aperture, while I listen to this video, it triggered my very first time going to airport taking a jet plane from Sacramento, CA. to Ohio it was both exciting yet scary. But now it was like great experiences now in my middle 60's of age that how I recall that event it was one week trip. But it was learning experience I was at that time age 24. That was so long ago. Thanks for your unique videos.
Happy to be a part of your trip down memory lane!
Perfect video🔥 I’ve been looking for a person that could shed some light on these feelings I’ve been having
Personally I think there is a correlation between our perception of time and our stages of growth. The cells in our body regenerate and rejuvenate quickly during our growth cycle until we are around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, and after we are fully grown adults our cells do not do this as effectively and efficiently as they did when we were younger. When we have fully completed our growth cycle all of our cells and our bodies are slowly decaying and dying.
I guess this explains why when I am traveling to some where new, it takes longer. But when I am returning it's faster.
Has anyone experienced the same thing?
Yes
The more time you have experienced the quicker it goes, it’s weird.
im 19 already, I've been 19 for some time now. The age 10 to 18 goes by the quickest. Age 18 was the quickest age that went by. It felt like I was 18 years old only for 1 day 😂
I lost 5 years of my life because of this 25 to 30 I just woke up and I was 30...it was quite literally a blur now I'm out here getting my eggs removed etc so I can have my own kids like depression eats away at time....if i could live again i would tell myself to not waste time
thanks
TOP! Thanks.
The older I get, the faster I want to leave this world.
Buy a motorcycle, you'll do both, and in style 😉
@@imakro69tbh, riding motorcycles.... And dogs, are the only 2 things that genuinely make me smile anymore.
Do it
Find new experiences, that will defeat the dull. Learn new things and good luck to you
Find your purpose you will want more time to finish your mission once you figure out what it is.
It’s the little things in life this kinda reminds me of soul the movie
Your videos sir are nothung but brilliant and full of information that is coherent. Apart from that is very enlightening. I have felt that my younger years were just part of a world where there is only black and white aka right or wrong. And you sir have opene up my eyes to all that shades of gray there to this world. I stand take my hat off applaud you. Thank you for all you do with this video and most important share it with us.
The picture of Father Time as an old broken down man is false because it makes you believe it is slow. Time is your most precious asset and is not linear. Father Time is a three time Olympic marathon gold medal winner. If your not moving forward your moving backwards. Nothing sets still because time doesn’t…….dont be anxious be purposeful and passionate and do your best. Not someone else’s best yours and rest and nourishing yourself is mandatory for being your best. Mind, body and soul, you are what you eat.
It feels like when I was a child I had so many things I did and wanted to do but not enough time or $. Now I have so much time and $ but not much to do. Just work , work out, and take yearly vacations.
Honestly I really don’t care how much faster the days get from aging. Yeah I’m like 40 and yes it’s fast but I don’t care cause I enjoy life.
The other night with my girlfriend, I felt like I lasted an hour, but she said that it was only 20 seconds.
Lmao 😂
Internal perspective of the world accelerates the older we get, like if individually we each approach our own event horizon.
Stuck in job I hate a life I don’t want but I have learnt to accept things time is moving fast wish it can move abit faster
People are programmed robot slaves of the system thinking happyness starts with extern factors like status, money, material things that means nothing and its relativ and an illusion create by society.
If your happyness depend on extern factors, you will never be happy because extern factors are endless.
Happyness starts inside you.
The more people around you, the more expectations, talk about others, lying, frustrations, negativity, jealousy, hate, double standards, own benefits, judge, comparing etc..... reflection of their broken souls.
Alone or in solitude you have more strength, peace, power, happyness, freedom and time to reflect and work on yourself.
Be the light in your life.
The here and now is where the magic happens.
No, not feeling superior or better then others but more be carefully and aware.
We are all guest in a short time so live evereday if its your first and enjoy the simple things in life
I'm 40, I wish I saw this as an 18 year old - my life would have turned out so different.I wish more teens can see this, I wish more people see this...
Any advice you can give me?
Frankly speaking, I don't think seeing any video could actually change the course of your life. I mean, we are who we are and we also have our life circumstances etc. I'm almost sure that if I watched this as a 18 yo it would make me think for maybe like half an hour and maybe inspire me for the day but then my life would go exactly the same. It requires much more than just watching one video to change something in life.
Crazy to think that every single person I’ve ever reacted with saw on the internet will be dead in just 100 years
Worthy of an Aperture Video ⭐⭐⭐
Thank you for the support!
Don’t agree. Time is objectively accelerating. Ask older people (60+) if they still felt like time was moving leisurely while they were in their 20s-30s, and they will say they still had plenty of time relatively to the last 10-15 years, ask 20-30 year olds now if they still feel like they have time, they will say none at all. It doesn’t matter the age, even children and teenagers nowadays say they feel time is going by incredibly fast. It’s likely to continue accelerating until no one can deny it anymore, not even scientists and physicists.

If we can live forever, I would imagine, time would be irrelevant
Because our planet is in a state of a higher frequency than it was years ago.
I need to sleep now but your video spoiled it
The one thing we all have in common is that we're all on our way to die. Make the best of life however you can, for however long you can.
Yeah lets consume drugs to produce maximum dopamine in our pity brains since our life's puprose is all about happiness right?
It's sad and happy at the same time
We know how long the day will be as we are experiencing it so our brains lock everything into a schedule
Dang time is always flying by soo fast when im having fun and soo slow when im not bruh like its soo annoying its like 1 second ago i was born now im almost gonna graduate from elementary school.

and after certain balance it's start to grow faster or in higher value 🤔
I dont remember high-school I block that shit out
Time goes faster when you get older because eventually you realize that you're literally running out of time. By the time youre 40 on average you only have around 20 years of life left.
I get it now: children don't understand the concept of time, but adults are all too aware of it. That's why times passes slowly for children but goes faster for adults.
that's 1 reason yes but only 1
I thought it would be the opposite
@@FrNhile Hmmm...perhaps.
I turned 40 and been stuck in a kind of midlife crisis because itvfeels like the days just blow by

Simple: in the start one year is one fifth of the person's life. At age 60 one year is 1/12th of the person's life.
Time does not go faster. Our memory is just compressed. When i was 10, a past year was a 10th of my life. Now it's just a 49th.
Btw. Time doesn't move at all. We move along time and measure the distance we moved with clocks.😊
Sad but happy button---'
fuck it dude what’s the point, we don’t even know if there’s anything after all this, the memories we make, the friends and family we will have, if there’s nothing after then it would’ve been for nothing. i wanna end it now but then i think how im terrified of what’s to come. i don’t know whether to kill myself ir live because both in the end sound nothing like happiness.
Why are you unhappy?
Hey Aperture :) would you ever consider creating a video with me?
It doesn't that is an illusion.
ur spending ur time living a repeating life my guy
Hey guys, imagine if we were best friends and I told you that Mohamad never lies. Everything he tells us is the truth. You can even search on the web and see the prophecies of Muhammad. One of their prophecies is that 'The hour shall not be established until time is constricted, and the year is like a month, a month is like a week, and the week is like a day, and the day is like the hour, and the hour is like the flare of the fire.'"
Welcome Back
Yup
Or perhaps you realise time is running out.
To infinity, and beyond!
