I’m craving an analog life….

I’m craving an analog life

Ironically I have to say this on my digital life

I want a physical music player with buttons, not iTunes

I want a video game player with joysticks, not Candy Crush

I want a clock that only tells time and rings once in the morning, not something that tracks my sleep, steps, and stress

I want to push a trolley and handpick the veggies in a grocery store, not sit on my sofa waiting for it to be delivered in 10 minutes

I want to get something stitched from a local tailor, not something that arrives the same day

I want to see you at that restaurant at the agreed time, without updating you on where I’ve reached, just the trust that I’ll be there

I want a camera that doesn’t show me the photo immediately

I want a notebook that doesn’t autocorrect my thoughts

I want a conversation that isn’t overheard, stored, or transcribed

I want a day that isn’t documented

I want to remember things, without searching for them

I want to slow down and live life, not hustle and let it pass me by

I want a life… that doesn’t need charging..

I’m craving an analog life.
