I recently discovered this magic.

I have an iPhone 13 mini and you can turn your phone into a dumb phone with this feature called **Assistive Access (**Settings—>Accessibility—>Assistive Access).

While it is great for parents who want their kids to have phones with only limited features like Maps, Music and Notes, it’s perfect for adults like me who want digital minimalism.

My assistive access on my secondary iPhone 13 mini (I normally carry a 17 pro for bigger tasks like banking, youtube, facetime) allows only these apps:

Maps
Notes
Spotify
Pinterest
Camera
Message
Whatsapp

This way, I can reduce my screen time.

I was like, sure its expensive, but it’l last.

The esim version, 4288 mAH. Was about to get the Pro Max, but once I held it inside my hand, felt like I was holding a large tablet.

Since I switched from 13 mini, size has always been fundamental to me. A phone should feel like a phone.

Initially searched for blue, but found only silver. I guess it was the right decision, since silver is much more graceful.

My few takes:

First one! Look how the tables turn. This “option culture” nonsense today was also spoke of back then!

The “Arrange Marriage” thing is so funny. I often think about it because I come from South Asia and often ponder, if that was to happen.

For one, I watched HIMYM when it aired, in school. Now I am 29, and on & off watch episodes, and I wonder:

How much of a ted mosby I am? A loser. I am still single and searching. Never thought I’d be living Ted’s reality in my twenties hahah. And the way I’ve dated and fumbled the stellas, the robins and even the tracy’s; I can’t even begin to start talking about it.

The Rabbit Duck debate made me giggle and optimistic. I wish I could tell the woman I love to rethink the way Marshal explains about Rabbits & Ducks. How just one change of perception actually changes the entire view from a rabbit to a duck. And how love and hate are so closely related in the brain that what we so strongly hate, we also have the capacity to love. 💔

And for whats worse about being a ted: how he confesses that he chooses the wrong woman AGAIN AND AGAIN.

Treatment from Dr Namrah Aziz, at Restore Skin @ Islamabad.

She’s very sweet and professional.

I’d have more sessions but I don’t have time.

I randomly opened and absolutely loved it. I feel alive once again.
