I find it so liberating to just sit: To sit and to be detached from the media; alone with my thoughts. I think maybe one of the reasons people don’t just sit more often is because they’re evading the questions that stillness provokes. "What am I doing with my life right now? Who am I, outside of who I want the world (or my followers) to see me as?" That has been the question of the hour(s) for me over the last few days. Even when I have nothing to see, nothing to seek, and have scrolled through every social media app on my phone, I still find myself sucked in. And for what? What good is it to deprive yourself of the truth when you convince yourself that the profiles you see, are representing better lives than the one you’re leading in this season of life? I kind of have this idea or maybe even a loose theory circling my brain – that if I turn off my phone for just 3 hours per day, how much more productive would I be? How much more social would I be? Would it enhance the way that I communicate with the people around me? Would I take the time to think for myself and form my own opinions instead of siding with one extreme or the other? Would I care more about figuring out who I really am and just owning it, instead of what my twitter header is or how outdoorsy my Instagram feed looks like? Would I love others more genuinely and intentionally? I wish I could say that I absolutely have the discipline to experiment on this, and maybe I'll try to an extent, or maybe I'll just keep wondering, and keep getting sucked in, like we tend to do. Regardless, I think everybody needs a little more of "just sitting," and just listening.
