I longed for it
It’s right there
Within my reach
So much time had passed since I’d held it in my hands
Holding it and playing with it could calm me
Or excite me and make me feel some sort of way
I have to resist it
I don’t need it, I just want it
Just leave it alone!
Don’t touch it, don’t bother it
It’s merely instant gratification, a distraction
It can be therapeutic to go without, so I’ve been told
Leave it alone, as long as you can
The longer, the better
Iphone you own my soul…
Don’t judge me for this lol…it came to me partly after reading the post this morning by Rebuilding Rob, about how we need or should to put our phones down more. Just after reading it Sid woke up ridiculously early and so I laid back down in bed with him so that he’d go back to sleep for a while.
As I’m trying to lay there still, I kept having the urge to pick up my phone instead of using the time to just relax, maybe do some deep breathing or at the very most think of what I was going to wear today.
I said to myself, just leave it alone, the longer the better.
