Like others in this thread, this resonates deeply. As soon as you referenced your phone as your dæmon, I racked my mind trying to remember seeing them...*His Dark Materials*, one of my favorite shows, which I am just realizing is based on Northern Lights. (I highly recommend by the way) I don't like the hold that devices seem to have on me and I've been taking the steps to distance myself once more from them (I did it for almost a year a few years ago). I have faith that we can create that space, or - fill it with other things that truly nurture us. I love love love this photo of you btw *big hug*

Really? I didn’t know it had a movie adaptation. My sister will be thrilled. 💃🏾

Wow! Almost a year?! Impressive. I should try it for a few weeks myself. I really need to severe this clingy relationship I have with technology. I’m rooting for us.

About the picture, you’re sooo sweet. Thank youuuu. 🫶🏾💚

Oh myyy!

My short attention span is killing me too. How about hobby? I don't think I have any again.. I just be living on the internet. God will help us.

It’s insane and I honestly don’t know the way out but God will definitely help us.

I can totally relate to your phone addiction! I’ve been trying to get rid of this nasty habit but it’s so hard to do. I can’t focus on much anymore and it’s such a shame.

By the way, is it my eyes or have you been scarce here?

You are right, I have been scarce 😅. I’ve become more busy and my Substack activity has suffered as a result but I’ll be back soon. Thank you for noticing 😊.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, my friend. It’s been a real problem over here but I’m working on it. Because truly, it’s such a shame.
