Once again, Mom enjoyed this article. It brought me back to the age of Pre-teen Dante when you were ALWAYS writing something ( yes, I still have all those movie scripts).
Digital Band-Aiding. It's what we all do as a tonic for the stress of life. We divert attention away from things and not towards them. But like a pot of boiling water, eventually you can't keep the lid on much longer before it bubbles over. Sitting and writing without distraction forces us to face ourselves – which we are becoming unable to do so in a world of dopamine anesthesia

This is great, Dante.
Like you, I also crave this analog offline experience. I try to be intentional and get it through hiking, neighborhood walks, meditation, etc.
But still, it feels incomplete.
Have you thought through how you can implement this idea into your life versus a one time experience?
Really enjoyed reading this. Felt like I was in process with you.
