This is such a beatiful exploration of time perception. The neuroplasticity angle really landed for me, especially linking new experiences to slowed time. I picked up mandarin last year and noticed weeks felt way longer than usual, even though i was busier. That paesitudine concept is genius btw, dunno why we dont have more words for different pace-of-life states.
I'm so happy this piece found you! Thanks for chiming in. Yeah, the languages really do it for me too. It's calming. Yet focused. I could make up words for pace-of-life all day. Coming soon to an instagram story near you... "Polentempo:" When the weather is cold and miserable, it's perfect for eating steaming plates of polenta.
