Currently listening to: DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love – Usher feat. Pitbull

So we back in the clubWith our bodies rockin’ from side to sideSide, side to side, uhThank God the week is doneI feel like a zombie gone back to lifeBack, back to lifeHands up, uhYeah, suddenly we all got our hands up, uhNo control of my bodyAin’t I seen you before?I think I remember those eyes, eyes, eyes

What do you think about completely going off social media for 1 week?

Prompt snagged from: TCMC

I think I would actually be fine doing this. HBU? It would be similar to going to the temple for days for me, I would imagine.

I’ve done that multiple times before. One time, I went dark while I was dating Richard, and he absolutely freaked out. He couldn’t keep tabs on me anymore, couldn’t see where I was or what I was doing. TBH, I barely noticed since most days I’d forget my phone at home anyway. I still had my work phone, but he never got that number—on purpose.

It was actually liberating. Zero fucks given. My mind was clearer, the noise was gone, and I felt like I could do more without being distracted. My friends were lowkey panicking, wondering what I was up to like I’d been snatched up and vanished. But I wasn’t doing anything dramatic—I was just living. Reading, listening to music, watching my shows, exercising. The same things I always do, just without the digital spectators.

If they wanted to reach me, they had to text or write me an e-mail. And they would have to wait for me to respond back which could take minutes or hours, depending on what I was up to.

    I think I can do digital detox for a week, too, but I haven’t done it yet for years.🤭

      I think I’d just write a weeks worth of posts and then dip if I did it again

    Prison for relaxation – what a concept! And you did it! Again … you are very cool, Rojie! Love the Usher song, too.

    I suppose I sort of did this once. Swore a girlfriend to secrecy and had her drop me off at the airport. I flew to Florida and spent a week on the beach. No one knew where I was. This was in the days of no cell phones. My car was visible in my apartment carport, so my family and friends were confused and worried. I didn’t care. I had a week away from their noise.

      That sounds super relaxing tbh!! I think the only real reason for me to have a phone is because I’m terrible with directions, the Thomas guide would be useless for me 😂

    I’ve done it with YouTube videos and permanently with Facebook / Twitter. Highly recommend it. Thinking I might need to take some time off with WordPress…

    1. justrojie Avatar

      😆 I don’t have fb or twitter so I’m almost already there. How come a break from wp?

      1. ianmdudley Avatar

        Same semi-addictive response I see with YouTube. Constantly checking my stats, looking for comments and replying as quickly as possible, wanting to keep my steal unbroken. I can’t help but think it’s ultimately unhealthy.

        1. ianmdudley Avatar

          Streak, not steal. Autocorrect!!!

      2. ianmdudley Avatar

        I perceive the same addictive response to obsessively checking for views and comments, not to mention the urge NOT to break my streak, as watching YouTube videos during too much of my free time. I ultimately don’t think it’s healthy. As for Facebook / X, I grew tired of seeing people I know proving they’re idiots. Ignorance is bliss…

          i used to care about likes and stuff on socials but i figure i’d rather have more meaningful people to interact with than potential bots.

      3. ianmdudley Avatar

        And my attempts to reply just disappear. Weird.

        1. justrojie Avatar

          sorry it doesn’t really disappear it just waits for me to approve it

          1. ianmdudley Avatar

            Lol. I wondered if that was the case … after re-submiting the first reply. See – addictive! Where’d my reply go? What if she thinks I’m ignoring her? OMG OMG OMG!
            😉

    I am on a steady diet of human detox. And I can honestly say I have never led a more peaceful existence.
