A day spent offline
Get curious
Hi there,
It is our official holiday this coming Friday, sundown to sundown. Happy global day of unplugging in advance. 🥳
Five things to share:
This time around, I am simply curious to spend an ordinary Friday and Saturday without a phone, without the internet. I’m curious to experience going out into the wilderness— a city filled to the brim with people, things, activities, and go about my day without a phone. Will I get lost? Will I feel lost? What would I fill the in-between moments that I so often fill up with music blasting in my ears, an e-book, or glances at my phone out of pure habit? Would it feel liberating? Indulgent? Will I be bored? It has been so long since I left home without a phone, without someone with a phone, and yet I used to do it all the time, a time before, and I am curious about that feeling again. I gently urge you to get curious as well and unplug.
Things to do:
Read “potato chip books”
Look at the sky
Cry
Pray
Cry more
Wash the dishes like you’re holding a baby
A quote I want to share with you:
Ain’t about what you walk away from/
it’s about what you walk away with
