Time itself is completely subjective. This isn't pseudo-science, this is fact: the larger the gravitational pull the slower time will move. For example a day on a planet with twice the gravitational pull of Earth will be 48 hours. However it will 48 hours to the people on Earth but the people on the planet it will be 24 hours. The people on the larger planet are existing at twice the length of time to the people on Earth. The previous statement is actually false since time is subjective, it could easily be Earth's time is quicker but again this statement is based on a point of view not an objective view point.
To bring it back to our reality we do control how we perceive time. If we perceive life as short and existing in the blink of an eye then that is how it will exist. Yet if we look at if from the view point of a housefly our lives take a huge amount of space in the linear progression of time. Life does not flash by it simply is there and we must seize it. Not that Carpe Diem bullshit because how can you seize the day when you are working a 9-5, with 2 kids and a pile of bills to focus on. We just have to be aware that time is simply a man-made construct to objectify existence and not a depressing measurement for how ineffectual we are to the grandness of reality.
The most important thing is everyone has to stop using the phrase 'I can't wait'. I am against the banning of most things, except recreational usage of bicycle shorts but I could be argued into the banning of the phrase. To be clear I am not saying impatience is the worst thing ever because I can be extremely impatient a times. The statement is against overlooking the extraordinary mundane things that happen in between the boring exceptional things we get excited for. Enjoying your morning routine, or your commute to work, or Tuesday nights can be difficult but simply experience them, live them. Don't overlook the moments because they make up the majority of your time which make them special in their own right compared to the unique experiences we all look forward to.
And that's it: We don't have to stop being excited for these brilliant unique collection of moments we just have to look forward to them. I've came to the conclusion that we don't actually exist solely in the present because the present is always in the past, the exact present is continuous steam of future into present into past. Looking forward is being the future, present and past. 'Looking forward' to something is being excited about the continuous stream of time and how we exist in all those beautiful drops of the ocean of time because to quote one of the most amazing films ever 'What is an ocean but a multitude of drops.'
