Recently I’ve had to deal with loneliness after I was robbed off my phone and PC. I never knew how much I was used to having my gadgets until I lost them and did not know what else to do afterwards. I use to try to imagine how a friend of mine was surviving after his device was stolen and had to be without a smartphone for more than three months. I had given him my second phone, but that too was stolen after about a month which made him live outside the internet space for another four months. Now I realize that no matter how I tried to relate with his predicament, I could never understand. But at least now I understand and I must admit it ain’t a good experience at all.

I used to think I could never get bored, but now I realize that was a big fat lie. Luckily I have a job, and because of that I purposely go home late because there is no point going home early as there is nothing to do but sleep. The only good thing that came out of this is that I now get enough sleep as that is the only thing I can do at home. Sometimes I wonder what I would have done if I was jobless like my friend was. I don’t even want to imagine it because life without my devices already seems like hell. Most times I wake up in the middle of the night and all I can do is stare at the ceiling in the dark while allowing my thoughts flow in like rivers until they take me back to sleep.

Another good thing that came out of this is that I now resume work early. So early that I have been one of the first people that has been resuming early in the last month. Boredom made me volunteer to join the security in their night watch because I was beginning to feel sick of doing nothing. I am currently writing with a friend’s phone, usually I do it with my company PC and because the PC isn’t mine I have to be fast with whatever I am doing. Even now I am rushing to post because I am in church but have a streak to continue. I just can’t wait to get a new device and end this boredom of a life.
