Even if you could live forever, you'd probably still feel that you don't have enough time. There are so many amazing things in the world and more are created every day. Even if you have an eternity, it's not enough, because you still only have 24 hours in a day and 365 days in a year.

Time would feel faster too. We perceive time moving faster as we age.

Apparently, it’s because our perception of time is relative. At 5 years old, 1 year feels like a long time because it’s 20% of our lives. But 1 year at 30 years old is a much smaller fraction.

I used to think that too, but nowadays I prescribe more to the idea that the perception of time is more related to how many new and unique experiences you have. As a kid everything is new and exciting, but as an adult you get stuck in a routine where things just blend together.
