The day when I didn’t read any letters

"It is not good to overeat on letters”
I happened to come across an article with an interesting point like that
There are no days that have us read no letters To the point of our days overflowing with letters
If you look at your phone or your PC, if you watch TV, if you go outside, your eyes will definitey come across some letters
Day after day, letters, letters, this stream of information through letters
"It is not good to overeat on letters”
The point is, if you eat too much food, your stomach is going to feel heavy; likewise if you read too much, your brain will feel heavy, it seems
I see
In other words, if you do not eat for a while, your stomach will be empty and you’ll feel hungry; if you do not read any letters for a while, you will be hungry for reading
Not fasting on food, but on reading Sort of a brain detox
It seemed interesting, so I used a day off to complete this “fasting”
The previous evening, I’d hidden stuff like books, magazines and mail that I had in the home in places where I could not see them
Wake in the morning ↓ Want to wash my face, realize there are letters on the facial cleanser container; close my eyes, pick it up by feeling for it ↓ Want to brush my teeth, there are letters on the toothpaste.. same ↓ Want to get dressed, there’s prints on the clothes... same ↓ Pick plain clothes, somehow finish morning routine without reading any letters
Great…
So, what can I do today?
・Can’t read books or magazines ・Can’t check my e-mail ・Can’t watch TV ・Can’t open my PC ・Can’t look at my phone ・Can’t go outside
……
I can’t do anything……
A life without any letters to this extent is a thing removed from reality
This great invention of letters that mankind has created in the process of evolution has permeated nature and our lives
After struggling to finish getting dressed, i simply went back to bed again without doing anything
And that’s very holiday-like, in fact, sleeping twice is enjoyable; things done twice can be done thrice, so sleeping three times is enjoyable, I don’t know, perhaps I even slept four times, I’m not sure, but with these thoughts I woke up in the evening
My day off went by wasted From sleeping too much, my head felt fuzzy
I understood that
rather than get starved for letters, you get tired of spare time
It’s not good not to do anything
There was something like that too
I was able to write the lyrics for the song
"Sho” [*document/book etc]
I don’t understand whether I could write this because of letter starvation
But we are in the middle of the tour promoting the album that “Sho” is on!
