No Phone

No Phone

No Phone

By Vikki

Today, I am phone-free. Or at least phone-minimal. Or at the very least, phone-avoiding-everyone.

No notifications. No doomscrolling. No responding instantly. No emotional emergencies disguised as messages.


My brain needs silence more than updates

I don’t need to check everything every second.

I don’t need to know who posted what.

I don’t need to be available just because I have a phone.


No phone means:

  • less noise
  • less comparison
  • less overwhelm
  • less “reply pressure”
  • more calm
  • more presence
  • more breathing room

I don’t need to be reachable

The world won’t collapse if I don’t reply instantly.

If it does collapse—honestly, that’s tomorrow’s problem.


Phones are loud

Not literally. But emotionally.

Every ping demands something.

Every app wants attention.

Every message asks for energy.


No phone = peace

I want my mind back for a minute.

I want stillness instead of stimulation.

I want presence instead of notifications.


Today, I don’t scroll. I exist.

This is your reminder that nothing online is more important than your nervous system.
