i had to admit something to myself today. i'm a tech addict. and not in a fun way.
the past year, i bought a dumbphone and used it instead of my smartphone. that was already my last resort. ever since covid, i knew that i couldn't get off screens.
my 18 hour screentime was my worst day. that's right. only 6 hours in the entire day i wasn't looking at my phone. and that's all i slept.
i have to use a smartphone. as an adult in this modern world, it's impossible not to. my local bank has closed, the mail and laundry in my apartment are managed with apps, and i even need it for college.
as soon as i started using it again for college this year, i felt myself being pulled right back to using my phone all day, every day. every single minute, every single second.
i even noticed that when i was using a dumbphone, i just transfered my addictive tendencies to my laptop.
today, i still find it hard to put a screen down and be in the real world. it's depressing that i can't think of a moment in my entire day-to-day life i'm not looking at a screen.
I'm so over it.
so, join me as i take my life back. i may not be comfortable living without headphones and screens right now, but i will be.
you can watch my journey. it might just inspire you to make some changes in your own life too.
