Day 2 of technological cleanse

I am loling to myself. I snapped the other night. It was definitely emotional but today I am just filled with happiness and positivity. Unfortunately, not everyone else is. There is so much negativity going on around me. I am not referring to peaceful protesting. To me, this shows passion and is a positive aspect of our democracy. I am referring to the fighting. To the name-calling, the hate, the yelling. The killing. It must stop. We need love. So that is what I am trying so hard to give right now. Since I have removed all these apps from my phone, I am surprised at how easy it is to carry on with my life. When I woke up yesterday I felt anxiety. Fear that I would have nothing to do with my time and that I would miss out. That is PATHETIC. Instead, I feel a weight lifted from my shoulders. Because I am not posting things and waiting for likes or comments to give me validation. That is not where my confidence should come from. So I woke up, I went for a run. I took it at my own pace. I didn't worry about how fast I was going or that everyone was passing me. I finished my six miles and went home to treat myself to a perrier. It's the simple things y'all. I'm at a coffee shop sitting outside drinking in iced coffee. The sun is shining and I could not be more in love with this day. I am beyond blessed in this life and I thank God for it every night. Life is short. Technology is important, but it isn't everything. I got to have such a long conversation with my boyfriend last night and for once, it wasn't interrupted by my need to check my phone. It's time to break my addiction and just live my life. Time to read a book. Peace & blessings hoes.
