Are you noticing the person right in front of you?

How her eyes light up when she hears a Beatles song? Or how her nose crinkles when the waiter brings out a salad with those tomatoes that she hates? Do you remember the color of his pillows in the living room? Were they grey or mustard? Do you notice the little things? Like how your roommate always wears her ring on her pointer finger? Or how that girl in your discussion always looks down when she talks?

There is so much more to the world than just looking down at a lit up screen. Our phones were made so that we can stay connected to one another even if we're halfway around the world away from each other. But it seems that now, we're more disconnected than ever.

Look up at the world around you. Do you feel the fresh breeze ruffling your hair? Or are you too busy looking down? Do you hear chirping birds when you wake up? Or maybe the sound of morning people wandering by? Do you hear the distant chatter people make in a cafe? Or what about the sounds of the rumbling thunder in the distance?

Leave your phones at home. Go live life.
