There is a curious habit we have developed: pulling out a phone to capture a sunset, a concert, or a quiet cup of coffee before we even allow our senses to take it in. We rush to store the memory for an imagined future audience, and in doing so, we subtly abandon the only moment that is actually real. Some of the most profound things we ever experience leave no digital footprint at all, and perhaps that is precisely why they stay with us.
