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.
