i decided to do a bit of a project, an experiment of sorts …
im not going to touch my phone all weekend. i want to see what my friends will do, or if they will even notice. The thing is I’m scarficing alot just to do this, and Im not even sure why im doing it … I stayed home last night, which for me is not normal. Im always out on weekends. Im missing good parties this weekend. Part of me wants to pick up my phone and make plans but it’s just one weekend right? I just need a break from society, a break from people ….. I kinda need to disapear, find myself i think ….
The sad thing is no one texted me for the first 24 hours … Sadly I thought that someone, anyone would want to talk to me … or something. I guess its just a waiting game now … BUt its actually been nice. Ive watched my favorite movies, explored this beautiful site and learned alot about myself. I’m hoping that by tomorrow night someone will notice my absence in their life and atleast pretend to care …. Or else Im going to need to re-evulate my life …. and mainly my friends :/

I think it’s a good idea to take some distance of all the social media and your phone and stuff. Like youvsaid, it’s just giving you a break. I also do it sometimes. Just don’t get talking to anybody, see who will notice. Actually the problemb is that nobody notice it. Also if I don’t talk to them for a month. It just gave me the feeling that they only talk to me if I talk to them. That I have to put energy in the “friendship” and the other person not. I hope your friends will notice soon, but remember a weekend is not very long to let them notice… And if they don’t notice, you can always ask them why they haven’t notice it. The distance from your phone and friends can also be very nice. Just take this weekend and do EVERYTHING you want 😀 Go rock this weekend, hun! And don’t worry too much about if they will or won’t notice it, just let it go. Wish you the best <3
Like most people, I have twitter, facebook, linkedin, iMessage, email… all accessible on my smart phone. But like Engeltje said, it is a good idea to cut the cord every once awhile.
Anyway, the point is…you are taking the right step by building yourself as a stronger person… as in…. just let it be..and be content all by yourself. I don’t know how old you are, but at some point, friends are not always going to be there for you (unlike what you typically see in TV sitcom/movies). So it is good that you accept that reality as early on as possible.
It’s nice to just be by yourself every now and then, because it allows you to introspect and think about life. If you feel like your friends are too shallow, then maybe you should cut some of them out of your life? I only have a few close friends and that’s how I like it.
