Have you ever looked at the world and thought, perfect pic, but leave your phone alone?

Dunno if it’s just me, but sometimes I see a perfect photo/picture and an exhilarated by leaving my phone alone and just enjoying the view. Love and peace friends.

Snapping a photo has never become a reflex like that for me. I've just never become conditioned that way, thankfully.

I wish I had taken more photos of me and my friends back in the day, my mom that passed away when I was younger, my pets I had, places I went. I take pictures and video now, not like I walk around with my phone out, but if I think “oh this is a nice moment to remember” then I absolutely take the picture.

I hardly ever take my phone anywhere. We (me and my husband) don't have social media besides reddit so I never think about taking pictures.

The one thing I feel blessed about growing up as gen x is we didn’t grow up with computers (no internet) and social media.

So Im not much one for photos… If anything my phone is filled with my pooch pics but outside of that I don’t need a pictures or videos to capture every moment of my life that I won’t look at later on.

There are times I’ll forget my phone and I couldn’t care less who’s trying to reach me. My retirement plan is to retire in a foreign country on the beach, watching the sunset every evening and Im allowed to disconnect from my phone as much as possible.
