I need an analog clock.
I want to hear the slow, soft click of its hands as time trudges forth.
That constant reminder of age, death, and insecurity.
How ******* pathetic.
Iā€™m ******* pathetic.
I want to buy a clock
And then I want to break it.
Time is meaningless.

Everything is important



Everything is important



Everything is important


Nothing is forever.

People seem to find this to be sad, or bleak, or dismissive
But they ignore the larger tragedy:



We go willingly.
