Let's Stop Taking Walks With Our Phone

Petrichor is the word of the day.

Smog reeking of doom about human connection hangs in the air.

Toxins from the unbrushed mouths of the loudest voices, assuming we’re detached beyond repair.

It’s a lazy opinion formed inside the echo chambers of social media.

An intangible space that tricks us into believing everyone feels the same.

But 8 billion people will never be on the same timeline.

That fact will save us from the gloom of disconnection.

People remain valuable, interesting and necessary mirrors of our own reality–every single day.

It’s as simple as leaving that damn phone at home.
