Maldives honeymoon
For our honeymoon, my spouse and I fled to the Maldives, where we were able to lose ourselves in the peace and beauty. We turned off our phones and just spent 10 days together, removing ourselves from the outside world. We ate delectable meals, went long walks on the beach, and bathed in the pristine waters. It was paradise. However, I couldn’t get rid of the apprehension I had about turning our phones back on as we took off for home.
Unexpected chaos
I was expecting a pile of mail and perhaps a few texts when we returned home from the Maldives, but my phone was inundated with notifications. I tried to make sense of the overwhelming number of alerts as I gaped at the screen in shock. My husband, similarly perplexed, cried out, “What could have happened?” My heart was racing with nervousness as we began sorting through the texts. We received the impression that we had entered a different, chaotic, and unstable world.
