(We need them
we need a phone
these days)
the reverberations of this
thought echoes through my
head


emails,
texts,
test results,
code verifications
identity confirmations
coordinating with friends
finding directions
self check ins

the endlessness is built on an abundance of thought
curiosity expanding and seeking ground

then why do I feel drained when a new task is added to the amount of things my phone can do
why do I feel zapped out of energy like a fly who starred at an alluring light only to be shocked at the outcome



... the list grows

The pile gets higher and higher
I used to think I could function in society without a phone if I chose to. However, having spent  3 weeks without a phone/ phone service I have come to cruel realization that it is painfully hard and it is a necessity. Long gone are the old days of choosing whether you would like to  to have a digital foot print.
