[WEEK 122] WEEKEND EXPERIENCE: An annoying yet productive weekend.

Here's another beautiful prompt from @galenkp so I decided to write on this topic.

The no-device weekend You have no computer, mobile phone, or gaming console for the entire weekend. Write at least 350 words about how you feel and why and how you handle having no devices to occupy yourself with.

I woke up to reach for my phone as I always do but this time was different, there wasn't any device of some sort, no phone, no computer no game console. My momma told me she had them taken away from me for some reason.

It was depressing because I've been addicted to these devices, I make use of my mobile phone for so many things like writing here on the hive which I do as a pastime, I also listen to music with it, take great pictures and do so many things with my device. How can you just tell me to stay without them just for the weekend? It seems momma is bent on annoying me over the weekend. Damn!!

I thought of how to make my weekend productive even though I seriously will be missing these devices.

The first thing that came to my mind was a book! Yes, I brought a book and a pen to write down how I felt about the whole thing, I love to write, and staying without my device couldn't stop me this time.

Now, I realized I also have a lot of novels on the shelf which I have abandoned for so long.
I reached out to them, It is about time I started reading more. Some of the novels on the list were; as seen in the picture.

Wow, it's evening already and I had finished reading these books, I realized that these devices could also be a distraction in some sort of way, when I had my device with me, I would read to a point and then check out what's trending on the social media, but imagine!! I read all of these in a few hours without getting distracted.

After reading, I brought out my picture album to take me back to memory lane.

It was so fun, to see how big I've grown, I started with pictures of me being a baby, I viewed our family picture and it brought so many memories back, pictures I took with friends and colleagues. I started to reminisce about those days.

I went to meet my momma, and we started to have a good laugh about those days while I was younger, she shared so many memories with me and that was great!

What can a weekend with the device and no visit to the beach be?

I decided to visit my favorite place in the world with momma of course.

And couldn't wait for the weekend to be over to share with y'all how life was without devices.

All images are mine.

Thank you for stopping by, till we meet again, it is your girl Amie Geoffrey.
