can i live without a cellphone?

today is the fourth day that i don't have my cellphone.
nope, i didn't lose it. i left it at a friend's car.
usually i'd be stressing out, wanting to get my phone back. but for some reason, i haven't had the sense of urgency to get it back.
i actually feel calmer. it's my friends who are stressing out because they feel that they can't get in touch with me. haha.
but really, it's a weird but pleasant feeling. and a rare one too. everybody has a cellphone and and can't probably live without one. so now i'm starting to think, what if i try living without a cellphone for a month or so? what's gonna happen?
contrary to popular belief, i am not attached to my cellphone. i know some will protest and say that i'm one person who uses my cellphone a lot, and they would be right. but that's only because i'm trying to maximize what i pay for it. see, i'm someone who looks for value for money. therefore, if i pay twenty bucks to get 2000 text messages, i better make good use of that or drop the plan. that's why i'm queen of text messages. now you know.
but the truth of the matter is, i can live without a cellphone. very little known fact: i only got a cellphone in 2004. can you believe it? i survived for four years living life here in the US without owning one! and now i want to try it again!
i just finished reading "the servant leader," a book that a friend of mine gave me maybe a couple of weeks ago. i've been meaning to read it but couldn't find the time. anyway, one of the concepts i'm taking from the book is solitude. i think it's such an "endangered" practice that it's nearing extinction. how many of us do take the time to be alone with God? what, with the endless calls, text messages, emails, tv shows, news, and people that bombard our everyday lives? but i realized thru this book that that is one habit that kept jesus focused on his mission and purpose in life. and if i wanted to be like him, i should do as he did.
so that's why i want to try living without a cellphone. i want less distractions. i want to get away from the world. i want to be with my God. alone.
