Last week I wrote to you about how my last 6 weeks have been on this phone detox. Honestly, I really enjoyed writing out my thoughts to you, and I really hope you enjoyed reading it too!

The reason I wanted to do a part 2 to it was to share with you why I decided to carry this on.

(If you haven’t already, I highly recommend checking out Part 1 to todays post here 😄)

Eid Night And The Days After

It’s Eid night. I am sat at the edge of my bed, a few hours after Iftar, staring at my App Store screen. My finger is hovering over the Install button for all the ‘Recently deleted’ apps. But for some reason, I can’t bring myself to click ‘download’.

I couldn’t believe how much things had changed. Just a few weeks ago, I was sat at the corner of another bed, my hand hovered over the same download button. But instead, it was me battling my finger not to click ‘download’. There was apart of me just itching to download anything…anything that I could mindlessly scroll. I sat there reminding myself then that it’s only a month. I could do it.
