Every time my phone’s battery dies and I have to run over to grab the charger, I can’t help but admire how it hardly ever turns on right when I plug it in. My phone usually takes a few minutes to gain some momentum, before it’s ready to resume its work again. No matter how many buttons I anxiously click. No matter how urgent what it had accidentally interrupted actually is. It very simply only turns back on when it has enough power to survive having to function, while still recharging. Sometimes I wish I could set such strong boundaries around my own energy, myself.
