I just can't quit cold turkey

When mapping out this journey I had to identify my biggest distractions, routines, or mental roadblocks that were getting in the way of my ~perfect life~. One of my first thoughts: social media. It was and still is, what I see as the biggest time waster and empty renter in my mind.

About to put my phone away for the night? Let me watch a few tik toks. Waiting at a stoplight? let me see what my sister sent me on Snapchat real quick. Just got out of class? I wonder who posted on Instagram while I was off my phone.

While I'm not a COMPLETE screenager, I've just been spending way more time scrolling on my phone than I'd like. So, this project came at the perfect time to rid my phone and my schedule of the socials I have become far too comfortable with.

I deleted all of them on a Sunday night. Monday was great. I had my morning routine, I went to class, I pulled out a lovely book when I had a spare minute, and obviously, I felt superior to all those around me consumed in their phones. Tuesday was fine, I kept busy, had work, and hung out with a friend. But then Wednesday came about and I was itching to scroll on Tik Tok. So I redownloaded it. What's the harm if I kept it ONLY to the one app? I'll tell you what the harm was. The relief and excitement from having it again were very real. After that, they all came back within a few days and I was back to the same routine. This whole process repeated the following week as well.

Honestly, typing this all out is ridiculous, and I am actually laughing at myself. They are all stupid apps!! Why do they bring so much temporary joy??

While I wish I could provide a perfect recipe for disposing of these platforms I haven't quite found it yet. But, here was my genuine and embarrassing attempt at it. However, I did come to the conclusion that I should be able to have the apps on my phone and not feel any sort of desire to be on them excessively.

I will continue the endeavor to rid my life of everyday distractions and find my peace. I'll update as it happens. In the meantime, best of luck, and as always, advice is much appreciated!

johnny cage is literally everything you could want in a pathetic guy character. he’s an a-list celebrity on his way to becoming washed up. in the old timeline he’s ambiguously divorced from an unknown ex wife and married(?) to a bad bitch named sonya BLADE. if my girl’s last name was blade i would change my last name so fast. in the new timeline he is loudly onscreen divorced in like the fourth cutscene and then starts a homoerotic relationship with a guy who broke into his house to reclaim an ancestral sword johnny bought for 3 million dollars. god takes him to train with monks and he doesn’t even make the tournament. when said guy gets blinded saving johnny’s life he uses a piece of his armour as a makeshift blindfold, leads him around like a guide dog, and gives back his ancestral sword while the yaoi leitmotif plays. he starts making psyop movies to get people used to the idea that other dimensions exist and credits god in all of them. all his fight intros involve him flipping the bird. one of his intro lines to kenshi is a silence of the lambs reference. he has an ass the size of two planets. his real name is john carlton
