stop distracting yourself with words like “toot” and “tick” and just go right for TOOTHPICK; then close the app, of course.

This is one of my darkest most demented secrets is that I don’t type on my phone like a normal person I use my index finger like a geriatric and I swipe to type in kind of a spray and pray strategy where I just hope that it psychically understands what I mean and usually it does.
The real problem is that the dictionary learns from all of the times I’ve tapped out words with tooooo many letters to convey enthusiasm especially about my friends’ cats, my dog, etc sooooooo it’s like a minefield:
* orrr
* Whyyyyy
* whyyyy
* Pleaseeee
* HELPPPPPOO
* himmmm
* whattttt
* WHATTT
* Perfectttt
* perfectttt
* yesssssssss
Surely there must be some way to stop this and I simply never will.

i don't remember what prompted me to even mess with my keyboard settings in the first place, but i do remember the peace that instantly washed over me once i saw how still my keyboard was when i began typing again afterwards. i hadn't realized how much noise that row of rapidly changing suggested words and emojis was making in my brain until it was gone.
also this has forced me to confront how awful my spelling is and how much i've gotten used to passively having my mistakes fixed. it was an inadvertent but necessary step for me in trying to be more conscious and intentional when using my phone.

My preferred word processor. You can choose your font, size, B/I/U, and that's pretty much it - no distractions. Just you and a blank void so scary, it pulls the words right out of you!

They don’t know you’re not listening.

You’re forced to sit quietly for 30 seconds and it’s a little glimpse into heaven… because you earned it.

I only know one, but it’s just enough to blow the minds of coworkers and children, alike.
Pick a card, and don’t let me see it!
