I can live without electricity, but my happiness will drop to 60.

The other day, our province experienced a total blackout again. As in the whole province ರ_ರ, this happened all the time so we're kinda used to it now. I mean, we really don't have a choice but to get use to it ( ꈍᴗꈍ). This is the reason why I always made sure that my phone's battery was full every morning so that I could still use it even without electricity. I don't really care if we don't have light, I can live without an e-fan too. We don't use rice cookers to cook, and to be honest, it's all fine, but that's all fine only because I have my phone with me and it is fully charged.

I say that I'm too dependent on my phone now that I can't let go of it for a very long time. A life without my phone is like an old life in black and white - it's super, ultra, mega boring. But of course it is beautiful too, it's just sad, but it could be a good thing too if we look at it on a positive note. Although happiness is important, and my phone is one of my sources of happiness, and without electricity, I cannot use it, I can still find other fun things to do to make myself happy.

So with the question: Could I live in a world without electricity? Yes, of course! Without electricity and my phone, I can do some other things and not just spend an hours looking at my phone screen all day. It could be a good way to divert my attention to other things. I can explore and try other things I haven't tried before. I am more of a homebody, and I don't like much outdoor activity, but maybe I can use some of my time to do some outdoor activity. Maybe I'll try to explore what it's like outside my comfort zone. Maybe then I can still be happy without a phone and the electricity that gives life to that phone.

You may be wondering why I'm thinking more about my phone than my e-fan, TV, or maybe a fridge - things that are super helpful, especially in daily life. To be honest, those mean nothing to me. I stopped watching TV a long time ago, and I could also live without an e-fan, in fact, I just got an e-fan recently and only had my Abanico fan, which helped me get through the warm surroundings every night before that. I am not too dependent on those. I can very much live without them. As for the fridge, well, I avoid cold drinks and foods, so no thank you, lol.

So overall, yep, yes, uh-hah! I can live well even without electricity. My life will still go on, maybe 40% of my happiness will be reduced, but I can search for another good way to replenish that 40%. It's not like life will stop if we don't have electricity. We don't have wires attached to our body that need to plug in a socket just so we can move, we don't need to charge our body so we can work, food consumption for a recharge is all we need, so of course I can live without electricity (◕ᴗ◕✿).

How about you?

Yes, i can live without electricity,just like you I become more productive and my mind can work more than always watching on my phone. The problem is not the electricity but how we are so hoked up on our phone.😅

Hahaha, right, but our mobile phone has a lot of positive impact too. Though the disadvantage is much more. Still, limiting ourselves are all we can do 🤧😆

Grabeh na imagine ko dito sa France nung nagbagyo dito mga almost two weeks walang internet at electricity, November, autumn pa winter na super ginaw. di ko ma imagine walang electricity. Buti na lang meron kaming generator dito. Kasi sa Pilipinas mukhang makaka survive pa tayo kasi di naman super lamig sa Pinas.

Sabagay, kapag sa lugar na super lamig, naku, without a heater is like a suicide. Sa atin naman, sa heatstroke tayo madadali kapag wala yan, lol
