I want to fall out of love with my cellphone.
For years I have starred at my cellphone blankly. For years I have impatiently awaited its flicker like a signal from a nearby ship. For years I have allowed it to rob my attention at a whim’s notice.
I can’t completely focus on others because my cellphone demands my recognition. I can’t fall asleep because my cellphone isn’t done talking.
I can’t wake up until my cellphone vibrates beside me. I can’t start dreaming until my cellphone stops blinking.
I can’t make you laugh without the letters that my cellphone provides me. I can’t show my joy without the emoticons that my cellphone can illustrate.
I can’t see in the dark without the eyes of my cellphone. I can’t feel fully clothed without the texture of my cellphone.
I can’t leave my house without my cellphone. I can’t travel without my cellphone.
I want to feel whole without my cellphone. I want you to laugh in my face, and not through my cellphone. I want to disappear without my cellphone.
I want to fall out of love with my cellphone.
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be
really something which I think I would never understand.
It seems too complicated and very broad for me.
I’m looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
