I know, you've mentioned it a few times. But why does it make you feel connected?

Plus, it's a reminder of a time when things were simpler. I don't have to worry about accidentally pressing buttons or getting disconnected because of poor reception.

I see what you mean. It's nice to have something that slows things down and gives you a moment to reflect.

Exactly. And it's not just my past that I feel connected to. It also reminds me that I can slow down in the present and appreciate the little things in life.

That's a great perspective to have. It's always important to take a step back and appreciate what we have in the moment.

Agreed. And this phone helps me do just that.
