Hey everyone this is my first blog. I am a 20 year old student nurse at a Scottish university and i wanted to share my experiences of throwing away my smart phone and how I have stepped away from being connected 24/7 to taking control back. It has been a pretty turbulent time over the last year of my life I have recently split up with an ex girlfriend whom I met on the dating app tinder and contemplated all the decisions I have made. If we think about it how crazy is it the we swipe left and right to find a suitable partner. Don’t judge a book by its cover our parent used to say, but that’s how our society runs now. we dont care about personality anymore its all about looks and sex.
I thought this would have been an easy task, no bother. leave my phone and get a brick whats the worst that could happen. Scary thing is it had a deeper hold on me that i once thought. after around an hour i was feeling at my pocket for something that i knew wasn’t there. An automated response to something i knew i didn’t have. How crazy is that . I describe it as a withdrawal from a drug. You cant live without it, snap chat flows through my veins
