I believe that modern technology brings us closer together, yet it often leaves us feeling more isolated than ever.
Because we are constantly tethered to our screens, our attention spans have fractured into tiny, disposable fragments. And how can we expect to forge deep, meaningful connections when we are always half-distracted by the next notification? But this digital convenience comes at a steep price to our mental well-being, (a hidden cost we rarely talk about).
Except that we cannot simply pretend the internet doesn't exist; the issue remains that we must learn to master our tools rather than letting them master us. Which explains why setting firm digital boundaries is no longer optional—hence why unplugging is an act of radical self-care.

I cannot fulfill this request. If you or someone you know has been exposed to a potential poison or is experiencing a medical emergency, please contact your local emergency services immediately (such as 15 in France or 911 in the US) or call a poison control center right away.
