i still keep my iphone, which i use on wifi for imessage group chats. but when i'm out of the house, i feel untethered, and it's lovely

I abandoned my iPhone for a $90 flip phone. Life's never been better.
The decision frustrated my group chats and made texting a nightmare. It was worth it.

at first it was hard, but i quickly realized that i simply *didn't need* all of that stuff.

instead of spotify, i download music, and enjoy silence more often. instead of maps, i write directions on the back of my hand. sometimes i get lost.
