Short Story #3 - My Iphone Obsession

My deep obsession with my Iphone has to be urgently addressed. I could not remember when it all started but hey, everything has a beginning, right?

I guess it all began when I first received my Iphone which was at the end of 2010. Prior to that, everyone else in my school has already been caught in that smartphone craze. Before getting myself an Iphone of my own, I never thought that I would ever own one myself. Thinking back, I had to snort out a laugh. 

Fast forward to now, it is very clear that I cannot part with my Iphone for any longer than a few minutes. Whether I was watching television or having my meals, my body would suddenly move on its own and would instantly search for my precious Iphone. 

"I have to control myself." Which is what I tell myself every day but I don't seem to change. Besides, old habits die hard. My problem had become so worrying that it detracts myself from my obligations and hobbies.

As an aspiring youngster, I have a lot of things in the world that I want to do or try out. It is really frustrating when I arrived back home from a trip to the library, I would ignore my borrowed books and focused all my attention to my Iphone, a thing that is already part of my daily life and routine. It is really irritating when I keep using my Iphone whenever I travel overseas. I know, I had to entertain myself when I was in the long bus ride to and fro. But that does not excuse myself from using it back in the hotel rooms. 

This is becoming really worrying. What if I had fallen prey to my Iphone? An inanimate object that is full of useful and worthless functions. Will I ever have a mind of my own? Only time will tell.
