No Device Weekend.
Topic:
You have no computer, mobile phone or gaming console for the entire weekend. Write at least 350 words about how you feel and why and how you handle having no devices to occupy yourself with.
The only company left for the weekend is the silence of my voice
My thoughts echoed thunder as I stared at the empty spaces in front of me
Empty spaces of where my computer, game console and phone charging spot used to be
How the little things of life make so much sense in retrospect
I am so used to them that their importance I didn't suspect
Now I feel like a child denied of his toys, who can predict?
The week days move with the speed of a snail
But when it's the weekend, it moves with the speed of a jet
Oh... I am banking on that so the weekend can pass
And I can hold my phone, computer and game console once again
Sometimes it's a terrible feeling to have to wait
I've centered my life around my phone and it's a terrible feeling to be without it. I used my computer mostly for work related things that requires urgency and maybe a bit of seriousness, so I might see not being with my computer as a blessing but I can't say the same with my phone and game console. I mostly console myself with my game console...you see what I did there? Hahaha.
It's going to be a weekend of boredom for me without my phone and game console. That means I won't be able to post on Read Cash, earn on my blogging sites, for the whole of the weekend hahaha. My earnings helps me a lot even as little as it might look to others. It takes good care of certain things in my life apart from horning my skills with writing and learning from others. Knowing I am losing everything for the weekend would get my mood down. I know for sure that I might lash out a little when someone tries to stress me unnecessarily 😂😂🤣. Forgive me but I am definitely in pain being without my phone and game console while still losing money. Haha.
The only thing that can calm me down and make it bearable would be taking a walk to the garden or a park. I want to soak up as much nature as I can... I would lie on the green grass, I would watch the birds fly over as usual, I would find a flowing water and if possible, sit at the edge with my feet deep inside as I enjoy the coolness to my feet.
I would definitely sleep more too because I know I don't sleep much due to my phone and game console. I might do the extra sleeping on Friday night to wake up late into Saturday. The remaining part of Saturday would be for nature viewing or observation and my Sunday would be for Monopoly game 🤣🤣😂. That game can be so engaging and before you know it, the whole day is over. I love playing it when I have extra hours to spare and I've actually once played with my brother and we stayed there for over 9 hours. No one wanted to concede 😂🤣😂🤣.
That's how I would spend my weekend with no gadgets. I would console myself with the aforementioned situations but heck... It's going to be tough without them.
Extras:
We all have our idea of how the world is/should be
But one thing is general for all to see
We are shaped by our experiences
Life teach us different lessons pertime
What you learn in a season differs
We see life based on where our lens is focused
I try not to judge anyone based on that
But I try to condition my mind all the time
To give everyone a benefit of doubt at least
It's okay to draw conclusions from the surface
Because we have been there at some points too
We feel the need to judge others
Because we have been judged too
We feel the need to second guess others
Because we were caught in the same act too
Maybe they did their differently than ours
But we want to make sure we are not alone in it
So we try to imagine others as guilty as we are

So, I am not the type to do countdowns but for this time around, I keep hearing it from left and right about my upcoming birthday and I decided to do my countdown. In 4 days, my birthday would come. October 20 is the date and I am absolutely excited about it. I've always been indifferent with birthdays but this one just feels extra special and I am looking forward to it with excitement too. In all honesty, I have no plans but I just want to enjoy the day, take a stroll around even in the cold and observe around. I would definitely take a lot of pictures that day too when I go out... It should be fun in my own simple way...
Thank you for your time.
