So I decided to spend 4 hours away from any sort of technology and I must say, I had a blast! Wow! Surprisingly, time flied because although I managed to find quite a few things to do to occupy my time, eventually, I got bored or otherwise, my brain switched to “default” mode. I was amazed with the thoughts I had at that time as my brain just kept coming up with ideas and ideas and even more ideas! A particular one I thoroughly remember is of writing my very own book! I started to think about everything about it and every little detail what it could convey. For example, the name, the place, the characters and way more! Never had I imagined I could come up with such things! It is simply amazing!

Of course I spent some quality time with my family as we got the chance to remind ourselves how our parents would spend their afternoons when they were our age!

I even found the excellent opportunity to start working out, something I never had time for previously since I’d always be busy with either homework or online classes. You see, another advantage of covid-19!

Another something that made me think was you know how there are questions where you can never just ask yourself if there is not complete silence? Well, yeah, I started asking myself those life questions and they really had my mind racing. Many thoughts were created, filling up my mind with many unanswered questions and possible or impossible scenarios.

By the time I was done, guess what? Half an hour had passed just like that. I couldn’t believe it! I thought to myself: “Did I just time travel or something because there is no way half an hour just passed!” and indeed, it did. When I realized that my 4 hours were done I did not immediately lock my eyes on a screen. I sat there for a moment and in that moment, I realized how great this “journey” really was and what good benefit really came from it.

So, I decided that from now and on, this will be a monthly thing for me because we all need some time away from our screens to just, think. We all need some time for a trip down memory lane to revisit the good and the bad times. Because we all need some time to be ourselves, to think of ourselves and to truly accept ourselves
