Minimalist Military Guy
While I won't disclose too much about what I do in the military, as it relates to the so-called "Top Secret" nature of my work, I will say that the military helped me realize that death is an abode for everyone. While my personal beliefs linger on the idea of a traveling spirit and duplicity of realms, I've come to realize in my 26 years of life that most of the stuff we own, actually end up owning us.
Over the years, I've decluttered so much of my life, to the point where the only "clutter" that remained in my life were dating apps, social media, and an incessant phone addiction. The only thing that broke that addiction was to not have a phone at all. So strangely enough, I don't have a phone, and have not had one for 3 years now. If someone non-work related needs to get a hold of me, they can contact me via a calling app on my computer that I pay less than 3 dollars a month for.
At some point I still had a phone. Slowly deleted apps, to see how little app access I needed, in order to live without any issues. After several deletions of apps, one after another, the only app that seemed to stand the test of time was my GPS app. Ultimately, I replaced my phone with a GPS device that works offline, in my car, on my bicycle, whilst walking, and doesn't track, harass, or invade my privacy.
TLDR; 3 years of not owning a phone has helped me become a better reader, a better writer, and a more private person.
Don't bother upvoting, doesn't do anything to or for me. lol
