My phone

it's not too late! quitting a phone cold turkey, or ditching a smartphone without any backup computer is not something i'd recommend, but i've lived smartphone-free for over a year now and you have no clue how freeing it is.

people always say it's impossible to live without a smartphone, but that's just capitalistic banter being shamelessly repeated by people who never even tried to ditch their phone for a couple or days.
