Full Story

“I spend a lot of time on apps that tell me what to watch and what to like. During the workshop, our teacher asked us to write without using any screens. At first, it felt strange because I kept thinking about my phone.

I picked up a pen and started writing whatever came to my mind. There were no suggestions or pop-ups telling me what to do next. It was just me and my thoughts on paper.

By the end, I felt proud of what I wrote. I realized that when I write with ink, I get to decide the story, not an algorithm.”
