In a world where technology is constantly accelerating and new models appear every minute, it’s easy to be dazzled by gleaming screens and marketing promises. But sometimes true happiness isn’t found in the latest smartphone – but in the little things that truly touch us.
What do I prefer? Something that isn’t displayed in a glass case. Something that doesn’t become obsolete with a software update. Something that lasts.
What does “ESTO” mean to me?
- A homemade cake that tastes like childhood.
- A walk in the woods where your mobile phone stays in your pocket.
- A conversation with someone who truly listens.
- A moment of peace, without notifications.
- A handwritten recipe passed down from generation to generation.
Why I consciously abstain:
1. Less distraction, more presence:
Instead of constantly looking at the screen, I am truly present – with myself and with others.
2. Sustainability instead of consumption:
I choose things that last. Quality over quantity.
3. Emotions instead of functions:
A smile, a scent, a taste – these are the real highlights of my everyday life.
4. Creativity instead of algorithm:
I cook, craft, write – and don’t let myself be driven by trends.
My “ESTO” today: A recipe that brings more joy than any gadget.
Maybe it’s a simple apple pie. Maybe a creamy dessert with mascarpone. Maybe a fragrant herbal tea. Whatever it is – it’s real, it’s tangible, and it makes me happy.
In a world full of updates and upgrades, it’s refreshing to choose what truly matters. What nourishes us – physically and mentally. What remains when the battery is depleted.
