Day 14. Still no social apps on my phone.
The first few days were awkward. My thumb kept reaching for icons that weren’t there. By day five I’d stopped noticing, and by day ten I was reading again.
I’ve finished two books, cleaned my desk, and called my grandmother twice. None of this is dramatic, but it feels like getting back something I’d quietly misplaced.
I’m not quitting the internet forever. I like the internet. I just want to visit it on purpose rather than falling into it by accident.
More updates soon. Probably.
