Your device showed you a number this week: your screen time. The total was much bigger than you'd have guessed — hours and hours, more than you spend on almost anything else. You didn't decide to spend that long. It happened in little pieces: a few minutes here, a quick check there, one more video, one more scroll. Seeing it written down felt strange, like catching a glimpse of where your time actually goes versus where you thought it went. You can't even remember most of those hours. They didn't feel like much while they were happening. Added up, they're a huge chunk of your life. The number is just sitting there, asking you a quiet question.
