In this incantation, I awaken to a life overwhelmed by information, once pleasurable like a cigarette, but now addictive, burdensome, and unsatisfying. I dream of breaking free from the constant flood of data and craving an awakening untouched by the endless pursuit of news and updates.
I awaken to an experience drowning in information. It’s everywhere—filling my mind, my devices, my time. It’s inescapable, like the ads that flicker on every screen. To me, information feels like a cigarette. It’s addictive, always within reach, and offers that quick hit of satisfaction.
I used to crave the constant stream of data, headlines, and updates. It seemed necessary to stay in the loop, to be informed at every moment. But now, I see how easily it spirals into an unhealthy habit. Like a cigarette, it leaves me wanting more without ever truly satisfying anything. Before I know it, I’m inhaling everything, even the junk I don’t need.
The endless pursuit of information has become a burden. I’ve been conditioned to believe that more information means more enlightenment, but that’s not true. I don’t consume it because I need it; I consume it because I’ve been taught to think I do.
Now, I dream of a different awakening—one free from this constant bombardment. An awakening where I don’t have to inhale every piece of news, every notification, every trivial update. I long to escape the habit I’ve picked up, one puff at a time.
I look forward to an information-free awakening.
