Flyby - The Perception of Time
Yesterday, I watched a short film called Flyby on Youtube from DUST. If you haven't heard about this channel and you love movies, go check this out. There's plenty of fantastic films, which are created by the community. They are usually about 5 to 15 minutes long.
The one called Flyby totally got me. I'm not gonna tell you the story, but something that actually struck me. At the beginning of the movie, one of the women said something about the perception of time. When we were young, it seems like time was passing much slower than it is now. She explained that when we are young, we experience everything for the first time. However, when we look back, it seems like it must have taken so much longer for all that stuff to happen. But as we get older, everything becomes routine, everything stays the same, so we don't notice how much time has passed. That's why it seems to us that time is passing much faster now because we don't experience much new stuff anymore.
I think that there is a profound meaning to this and to the whole film. It creates a new picture of how we perceive time. The perception is made in our minds by our memories.

You're not wrong, but it's a little awkward.

"we were young" is past tense, so talking about things that happened when we were young, we should remain in the past tense.
You could also shift the whole thing into the present - "When we are young, it seems like time is passing much slower than it does when we are old".
