been reading brave new world and this is a huge theme. solitude/silence is its own form of rebellion against the constant advertisements and algorithms
@HAILEYD4WN me tooooooo!! and i have so many of them if i just let myself have them instead of filling my mind with noise. i have also found myself defaulting to natural "play" like making little games with myself, which i hadnt done since i was a child!!!
The world can be such a quiet place sometimes (with the exception of ambient noises and stuff). Stop the music, put your headphones away, quiet the internal monologue, and pay attention. Itโs so quiet out there.
Let the world be silent. <3
I usually have headphones on all the time but recently I started doing my morning routine and walking outside without them, and itโs so peaceful. Sometimes your nervous system just needs nothing at all lol.
Just use it. Give away those stickers. Curl you hair with a sock. Cook with those canned beans. Make it work! Get a little creative and get comfortable with imperfection and impermanence
