doomscrolling through tt and stumbled with this article and decided to read it. Now I want to throw my phone away and get a blackberry or some other stupidly rudimentary electronic device😭 that allows me to actually experience THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE.

I've am using a dumb phone for a month and I'm now one week in! I have switched from my beloved iPhone SE 📱 to a trusty Nokia 225 ☎️. The first few days I was on a high I felt unstoppable 💫, strutting down the halls with my rose gold brick 🧱 glistening in the light. I got so many fans come up and take photos 🤳 with it and try it out, I was on top of the world 🌏! Until ... I started feeling symptoms of instagram reel withdrawal 🤬. My one true love is no longer I have been forcibly ripped from the hands of heaven due to our forbidden romance 🥀.
My sleep health has notably improved due to me not going on my phone before bed 🛌, it has increased my sleep quality and quantity 😴. This experiment has made me more laptop-dependent considering all the apps I need to use are online or on my Mac 💻. Overall my mood has increased and I am texting less but calling more 😊. I mainly communicate through mouth of words 🗣️, SMS, and phone calls. I found many challenges with the limitations of apps like I couldn't use my training apps or WhatsApp which hindered my ability to complete trainings and communicate with coaches 🏋️. I couldn't use Apple Pay, Airdrop, or Find My Phone which affected my organisation and safety👷♀️.
My studies have interestingly 🧐 remained the same, I thought because I wouldn't have access to distractions like social media my academics would improve however I procrastinated equally as with my smartphone 📚. To me it is clear why this has occurred, my attention span from my use of social media has shortened 😬 which makes me procrastinate similarly to previous times but instead of being distracted by my iPhone, I am distracted by other things like food 🍱.
Overall it has been pretty smooth sailing ⛵️, I do feel superior because I catch myself being more present and notice more things like how super awesome I am 🤘🤠

whenever i’m away from this app i’m like… I have nothing to post. And then it reminds me that maybe i’m a little miserable and infected by haterism and that’s why I can’t think of anything to recommend to all of u fellow friends. reminding myself of things I like n enjoy is kind of like reminding urself of everything ur grateful for :)
