Analog vs. Digital: Choosing a Slower Way to Live

In a world shaped by speed, the digital life offers efficiency, access, and an endless stream of information—but it often comes at the cost of our attention and inner quiet. Screens fragment our days, blur our focus, and pull us into a pace we were never meant to sustain. Digital tools are useful and necessary, yet they rarely invite us to slow down or inhabit a moment fully.

Analog practices, on the other hand, draw us back into our bodies and into the present. Writing by hand, reading real pages, lighting a candle, playing vinyl, or crafting with simple tools all create a tactile rhythm that grounds the soul. This isn't to say that analog and digital are enemies—they’re partners.

That said, analog reminds us of what we easily forget: slowness deepens beauty, attention is sacred, and the things we touch with our hands often shape us the most.
