“Put the phone away!” I have to remind myself sometimes.
Who cares how the picture will look on social media? Who cares how witty and timely the tweet seems?
Look, I’ll always value my phone. I have to. It makes it easy to keep in touch with friends and family spread out all over the country. It’s how I met my boyfriend. It lets me get a ride whenever I need one, or have food delivered to my door when I’m too lazy to put on pants. It enables me to work from home. But you can’t let this pocket-sized computer become all-powerful. It’s okay to give it a rest sometimes and contribute to your surroundings. It’ll still be there, ready to shoot tons and tons information directly into your brain and eyeballs when you return.

We all have different factors that fuel the obsession, but for me it’s about making sure I’m capturing moments and staying engaged with my community.
