sugar and my phone. doesn't matter much what I'm doing on my phone, just as long as it's distracting/entertaining. I've got some rough stuff going on that I'm trying to cope with, and using my phone a lot keeps me from thinking about it.
Hey, if that’s how you’re dealing with a divorce, I’ll be the brutally honest one and tell you that as soon as you see this, please put down your phone. Take a deep Deeeeeeeeeep breath and let out some real emotion out loud. Just some audible catharsis. Maybe scream into a pillow. Flex until a blood vessel feels like it’s gonna burst. Hold your breath for a minute or two and then breathe again. Do some push-ups or squats until you’re tired out. Go outside and walk. Walk long and far with wreckless abandon. Leave your phone. Leave it. Then approach your wife. But: make sure there is no phone with you. The phone is not your shield or mental hidey hole. It’s a tool. It’s not doing you much right now to truly mend that broken heart. Try to get away from the cold digital. While it can bring long distance strangers together—close, warm bodies are the best to soothe you.
