62. buying a book isn't reading a book

And thinking isn't writing... but, uhm, it's pretty pretty pretty close?

Dear readers of this newsletter,
Too often I feel the urge to reevaluate my relationship with stuff. Physical things. People. My own thoughts. My morning routine. My breakfast choices (which tends to be 1 thing and 1 thing only).

The shows and films I consume. Fuck, how much time am I spending on my phone?
Not a fun project to reevaluate what the fuck you’re doing with your life, huh.

But it can be fun! I can bring back Le Fun!
Life hasn’t been as fun as it used to be because we’re all fiercely addicted to our smartphones. So, we all think that cute electronic device makes us happier because duh, life is easier. Easier usually means better, which could eventually translate to happier. Yeah?
