Clocks/clock hands: Time is bizarre. It isn’t really tangible. Yet time is always there, we all use it, need it, and it constantly dictates our lives. Time can move so incredibly fast (Time flies when you are having fun. It’s completely cliché, but true.) In turn, time can feel as if it is lingering on infinitely. Time feels endless when you’re lonely.
It feels slightly surreal when you think about the concept of time and the intricate role it plays in our lives. I suppose that always remains in the back of my head with a lot of my work; especially that our time on this planet is really so minuscule in the grand scheme of things, not to mention that time can be cut unexpectedly short at any second.

And I’m lower now, and lower still. And you did always say that one day I would suffer, did always say that people get their pay. You did always say that I was going places, and that you wouldn’t have it any other way. -Laura Marling
