I’ve currently lived more than 45 days without a phone and…

No Instagram, no Twitter, no YouTube and yes, no WhatsApp either, this is hardcore mode lol

I am on an absolute detox, I’ve gotten used to using cash instead of paying through my phone, I am using physical maps instead of google maps, it feels that I’m simply living in the 1980s and I dig that, this makes me a lot more alive than I ever have.

We’ve conditioned ourselves to think that we require a smartphone, we say stuff like “for work”, “for contacting” and I do think they’re valid.

Not everyone can be in a position I currently am in, a position where I can give up my phone and not be in a frenzy about it.

Which is precisely why I’m experimenting, playing with parts of myself, uncovering every single detail. I wrote this in my journal the other day, the more you push yourself to do the uncomfortable the more you find about yourself, in an effort to understand myself I feel that I’m growing more and more empathetic towards the world

I suppose that is my victory as a writer

my victory as a

person.
