IM TURNING OFF MY DIGITAL DEVICES SO I CAN SPEND SOME TIME WITH MY THOUGHTS.

THAT SOUNDS LIKE A TERRIBLE IDEA.

DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT YOUR QUIET THOUGHTS WERE LIKE?

NOT REALLY.

BUT HOW BAD COULD IT BE?

THIS ISN'T SO BAD. JUST A BIT BORING.

FIVE MINUTES LATER IM GETTING THE SHAKES. THE BOREDOM HAS METASTASIZED.

GAAAA!!!! THE BOREDOM IS OVERWHELMING!

KILL ME! KILL ME!

MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE TRIED BEING WITH PEOPLE.

IT WAS ALREADY BAD ENOUGH.
