Honestly, seeing a rainbow after rain used to brighten my whole day, but now I hardly ever notice the sky.

Ever catch yourself just staring at your phone instead of looking around? I read something about how our eyes are basically glued to screens now... we don't even look up at the clouds. Makes that whole "not noticing the sky" thing hit different, you know? It's like we're training ourselves to miss the free stuff. Might have to make a dumb rule for myself to just look up for a minute.

Setting a daily phone reminder to look at the sky actually works. I did it for a week and it felt silly but now I notice cool cloud shapes without prompting. That free stuff is pretty good once you train your eyes to see it again.

People have always walked around not looking up. Before phones it was newspapers, or just being lost in your own head. I've missed my street sign a bunch of times without a screen in my hand. It's not some new training, it's just being human. The sky is cool but acting like we've ruined our brains feels like an overreach.
