Alone in my Thoughts.

They say "Be careful of what you wish for" and I believe that statement to be true. We can't possibly be sure of what the future holds and that's why I try to appreciate the journey I've had and the things I'm going through even when I know that I have some other things that momentarily hit my mind.

I have really wild thoughts about things and there are moments when I start thinking about weird things which could make for an interesting discussion. Just this morning, I was wondering what life could be like if we were spending time without our phones.

This is something I've experienced back when I haven't started using solar energy as my primary source of electricity supply. This was way before I started investing heavily in Power banks. Back then, there were moments when my gadgets had low batteries and I had to go pay to have them charged. I couldn't possibly hang around to make use of the phones at that point so I had to deal with the discomfort of being without my gadgets.

For context, here's what happens when I'm with my gadgets.

I have so much going on in those moments. I can wake up and immediately start the day by reading some stuff online. I then do some work especially now that most of my earning comes from the stuff I do online. I'm also a big consumer of video content and I don't think any day passes without me listening to a podcast. That's how engaged I get with the Internet world.

Now, imagine what the case would be when I'm not with my gadgets.

Back then, when I was at home and my gadgets had low batteries, the discomfort that came with that was usually outta the world. A part of me felt anxious about all the stuff that I would have on my table when I finally had my gadgets charged. It's like that for maybe 10 minutes but once I push through that, I start improvising to still make the best of that situation.

There was a time when I had that issue and with no music or podcast to listen to, I decided to start cleaning up my house. I got through that and was left with just my thoughts. I never really struggled with creativity issues, but in those moments, I noticed that my creative juice was having a wild rush. I tapped into that and I was able to stretch that creativity to heights which I didn't know existed.

Something about that moment stuck with me. I don't ever wish to be in a situation where I can't use my gadgets because of a lack of electricity. However, I've become someone who understands the importance of just being in your own thoughts without allowing these gadgets to cause any distractions. I now momentarily disconnect myself from my gadgets just to think. It has been an interesting improvement to my lifestyle.
