The Simple Thing I Carry

One simple thing I carry with me most times is my phone. It holds my connections, reminders, and ideas. I use it to capture a thought before it fades, check in with people I care about, or simply enjoy a quiet moment reading something meaningful.

Before the phone, people carried other essentials—small notebooks for thoughts, a folded map for direction, or even a pocket watch for time. Each item served one purpose, but now they live together in one small device.

So while the phone combines everything, I still carry one small, separate object that feels personal—a pen and a tiny notebook—to remind me of certain things outside the screen.

Until next time.
