Happy Friday VIPs and everyone else 💓 

Decided to write about my struggles to control the relationship I had with my phone. 

A few years ago, phone cases with straps became a thing, allowing people to carry them around, always ready to access..

I don't think it's a coincidence that the German word for it contained the word chain. If anything, it's probably the most accurate metaphor.

Hello Naomi, I appreciate you for writing this piece. 

I switched my digital distraction device haha to monochrome mode and that's made a difference; all the apps now look the same and don't call so loudly to me for my attention! 

I also got a nice little hit from your piece by handwriting that German sentence you quoted - Vorfreude ist die schönste Freude - with a gel pen (haven't gone back to a fountain pen just yet) because I wanted to feel the sensation of writing the umlaut above the o :-) Not a pleasure we have in English.

Writing sci-fi stories and other things too: markmcclure.xyz Casting in the word shallows.

Thank you! Glad you enjoy it. 

Oh yes, we have many words with Umlaut :D I'm sure there is more sayings that feature them. Next time I come across one I let you know
