There's something nostalgic and comforting about the days before smartphones took over our lives. Back then, everything felt more organic-conversations were more genuine, and we weren't constantly distracted by notifications, social media, or the urge to capture every moment on camera. We were more present in our interactions and experiences. It was a time when people could truly disconnect and enjoy the moment without the constant pull of a digital world in their pockets. Life seemed simpler, and the connections we made felt deeper.
Well said Nadia, thank you for your valuable insights on this! It makes you wonder if the benefits of “technology” are even worth it in the first place
I'm glad it resparked your love of reading! My reading list is on my phone, so I don't know how I'd do that though. 😆 An important exercise and even the days you did were impressive!
Thank you! 🧡 Yeah so far it totally has, and I’ve even started a list of books I wanna read or have been recommended. Once you start talking books with people, there’s so many great recommendations that come!
@@choosing_love if you're looking for a way to keep them all organized, I love using The StoryGraph app. Plus it'll generate books it thinks you might like based on your list and ratings! (I realize the irony of suggesting an app on a video when you gave up your smartphone. In my defense, there is a desktop version!)
The final reflection about playing with your kid made my heart jump for a second.
Aw haha, thanks for sharing that.
