i once broke my phone and due to unforeseen circumstances I wasnβt able to get a new one for a couple weeks so I was forced to take time without it, and to be honest, it was beautiful! its nice to say βah my phone wasnβt on me / my phone was broken so I couldnβt respond.β
since then Iβve done some time intentionally leaving my phone at home when I leave to have a bit of solace and experience the world around me for a moment without needing headphones in or checking notifications constantly. great stuff!!
