peace.

among other things, i am finding peace in not having a cell phone here in italy. i have a little phone that i am supposed to use to keep in contact with others in my program, but i secretly don't charge it (oops!). do you know why? because i love the peace. i have always wished i grew up in the 50s or something, a time when we didn't have cell phones and we had to rely on a person's "word." i love the idea of making plans with someone (in person) and then feeling that anticipation of meeting up with them, not texting them when you're around the corner: "almost here, where r u?!" 

i think as a generation, we rely much too heavily on technological forms of communication. so ditch your phone for a day and just live your life, the way it should be. i bet you it'll feel amazing. 

 {and on another note, i came dangerously close to stealing this dog yesterday.}

happy friday!
