Do you remember the last time you spoke without looking at your phone?
I don’t. And it bothers me.
We sit together, but eyes are on the screen.
We reply with emojis instead of words.
We call it connection. But it feels like silence.
I miss the old talks. Sitting under a tree. Tea cups in hand.
No rush. No notifications. Just people, sharing stories that mattered.
No filters. No rehearsed lines.
Maybe we can bring that back. One evening at a time.
Keep the phone aside. Look into someone’s eyes.
Say what you really feel. Ask what they really mean.
Real conversations heal more than any therapy.
They remind us we are human.
Not just usernames.
