wave of nostalgia

I decided to switch to using single-purpose devices.

Honestly, this wasn't even hard to do. I just chose to do it because I feel like everything in my life has been centered around my smartphone and I didn't like that.

Currently, I'm using a flip phone (freetel mode 1 retro 2), mp3 player (xduoo x2s), handycam (sony hdr-cx370), e-reader (boox poke 5), nintendo switch, and cd player (I dunno the brand.)

Also, something to mention is that I don't have any social media accounts besides TikTok and, well, YouTube. I don't doomscroll on TikTok, however, I do doomscroll on Youtube.

I dislike how much time I spend on those apps, bed-rotting as I did so, so I decided to use different devices with different purposes so that everything wouldn't be easily accessible (I'd have to physically get up in order to get a different device to use--I can't just switch from one app to another for another source of dopamine.)

I'm glad I did this.

Also, the reason why I even made this account in the first place is to pretend that I'm living in the early 2000's so that I don't feel weird or "out-of-place" when I don't use a smartphone, unlike the people around me.
