Now most people would say "how can you have a fear of time" because without scratching the surface time is just the continued sequence of existence...

It's what you check when you're at work, school, something in the oven etc

It's not an average person's fear.

But when you dig a little deeper, time is more than just the rotation of a clock arm.

For me, time is:

- Time left with loved ones
- Time left before it's too late
- Time until an event
- Time to complete something

I have a fear of not having enough time. Not having enough time to do things. Doing things too quickly because of time.

Time scares me.

Time is a scary thing.

Time is a destroying piece of work.

Time took two of my loved ones away from me far too quickly and far too soon. It wasn't their time to go, but time took them anyway. 

In the space of 4 months, time took away two people from me.

I didn't have enough time with them. I didn't do enough things with them. 

Questions regarding time rotate in my mind daily. 

My fear isn't about looking at the time, wondering what time it is, what time can I get something finished in.

My fear is about not having enough time.
