Today I started to think about a few things.. first technology. What is our generations obsession with technology. Everything is technology. Last night I had a dream about a phone. I mean really.. .a phone. Why is that what my subconscious is concerned with? Not world peace or the fact that I'm 21 years old and $60,000 in debt. Not the year of school I have wasted or the drama i can always find, a phone.

What happened to those times when I could wake up and go have breakfast, get ready for school, pick out clothes and finish my homework all before catching a 6:45 bus? I never thought about anyone else in the morning. I didn't roll over to check my phone. I didn't keep a laptop on the shelf next to my bed. I didnt' worry about what anyone had to say, feel or think. I only cared about me. And honestly, I was healthier. And I miss it.

Now, I never part form my most precious device. When asked the age old question of what personal belongings I would grab in a fire, there's no though about my old journals, stacks of photos, movie stubs and sentiments. Just my phone. I piece of plastic and metal which can be replaced with 50 dollars.

I am going to try to seperate myself from my phone this week. Spending my time at the gym without it might make it easier to focus on me and go back to how it was before the world was linked.
