The sound of silence...sorta
Between AIM, my cell and real-life convos I feel like I’m constantly talking or chatting or texting. Last night, I decided to take a break from it all. I stepped outta my house gadget-free and decided to exist totally unplugged for a while. Even though my neighborhood isn’t exactly peaceful (I live in the city), it was refreshing to get away from the buzz of all those electronics.
I got to take in the whole scene. There were two college students flirting while walking with their bikes (aww!). The kids at the café table next to me were dishing about their fierce pickup soccer match. Everyone was outside, enjoying the gorgeous night. It was super-relaxing, and I didn’t talk to a soul.
My unconnected moment lasted about an hour. When I got home, I checked my email for the millionth time and called my friend Jon about our (healthy!) dinner plans. Then I got back in the chill-out vibe and did a half hour of yoga. Ahhh...
Hearts,
Katie A.
