Craving Quiet: Stepping Away for a While

Lately I've realised that even though I'm barely on social media, my life still feels 95% digital. I don't post on LinkedIn. My Instagram account mostly exists so I can open links people send me when I absolutely have to. I only keep a fake Facebook account for Marketplace and I use my real account (I've had it since the beginning of Facebook and all my friends live there so it stays) for Messenger only. But there is more than social media to occupy our time now. My days are still full of feeds, links, apps, messages (whatsapp groups and such), digital projects, and little things I feel like I should be keeping up with. And they are easy to keep up with, my phone is always in my hand anyway.
