Your Phone is Your Leash

You think you’re holding your phone, but look closer.
It's wearing you.

It buzzes, and your breath tightens. You check it before you pee.
You reach for it without knowing why.

It’s not a tool anymore. It’s a leash. Look at you. You're just a dog.
And you’re trained well.

Every scroll, every click, every loop…
it’s all teaching your body one thing:

Stay available. Stay reactive.
Stay disconnected from yourself—so you can stay connected to a system that only cares to sap your time and energy.

You’re not addicted to the screen.
You’re addicted to escape. Your screen sucks

Because being present in your life? Being present in your life sucks.
It's designed that way.
Presence hurts when you haven’t been in it for years.
So you trade it for control. For dopamine. For distraction.

But it’s not working anymore, is it?

You’ve read the articles. You know it’s bad for you.
But you’re still checking your notifications like they owe you something.

Here’s the truth no one says straight:

Your nervous system thinks phone is God.
And you're praying to it 150 times a day.

No wonder your soul feels quiet. No wonder your thoughts don’t land.
No wonder you have problems sleeping.
You’re never still long enough to hear yourself arrive.

This post isn’t going to make you quit technology. I'm not even going to ask you to try.
But I'm going to help you see it.

Not as the enemy. But as a portal you’ve been falling into instead of stepping through.

You don’t need a detox. You need to return.
And I can show you how. It's not easy. But it takes less time than you think, if you really want it.
