Analog Life

As much as I love the internet, I’ve been thinking about going more analog recently. (And digital obvi, but ykwim)

MP3 players, CDs, cassettes, records for music

An old camera for photos

DVDs and VHSs for movies

Physical games instead of an online library, or modded devices like my 3DS and PSVita for games

A flip phone for calling and texting

I would still check my accounts and online places of course, just hopefully less frequently. I feel I need to live in the moment and stop comparing myself to others who are more ahead of me in life. I get jealous and depressed just seeing what others have that I wish I was capable of achieving. I know I am capable, but  at my own pace. I know I’ll be much happier and productive when I stop doom scrolling :) 

I know one day I’ll achieve my goals but I’m just taking everything one step at a time. I’m slower than others, but as long as I was better than yesterday, I know I’ll eventually grow into the person I want to be. Saying all this stuff is cheesy and embarrassing, but I really needed to hear it years ago.
