Love this :') All the times gadget stuff has melted into my relationship anxiety without my consent, it happened just like this. You expect to hear from them, but the notification is for something else.

I enjoyed the flow and the pacing and the way you did twists. The narrative is cut with a distraction from the gadget and we don't get to fully live the exciting moment it's building up to, it just skips over it, but the anxious, depressive moments endure.

So easy to ignore gadgets when we're high on happiness, comforted by company, and it's so easy to fall into their despair when we're alone and numb.

Thanks so much for your reflections, Giray! So true re: so easy to ignore gadgets when we're high on happiness, comforted by company. I wonder if we will ever interpret the siren call to the screen as a reminder to get quality irl time in.
