today i met up with a friend for lunch and coffee in my neighborhood and i told him beforehand i’d be showing up without a phone and i said when and where i’ll meet him. i left my apartment with nothing but my keys and credit card. we spent 3 hours yapping with no phones in sight (except when i asked him to google some statistical facts we had to check which were pertinent to the conversation). it was fucking awesome i felt so free i didn’t even WANT this god damn device on me. it usually just stresses me out when i have my phone on me because i end up constantly checking if it’s still in my pocket in case it’s been stolen or something... but i was free today… to be in the sun… zero technology… highly recommend…
