You know when you drop your phone and the screen cracks? It’s the worst! But did you know that even something as boring as a cracked phone screen could have a deeper meaning?
Yup, regular objects we use every day can lowkey be symbols for important stuff.
Phones Are Like Friendship Bracelets
Think about it – our phones are always with us. We use them to talk to our friends, watch videos, everything! They’re like modern day friendship bracelets.
And just like friendship bracelets represent our bonds, phones symbolize human connection and communication in today’s world. Crazy right?
When The Symbol Breaks
But then you drop your phone and the screen cracks. Ugh, so annoying! But it’s almost like the universe is reminding you that nothing lasts forever.
That crack could mean the bond or connection you had is now disrupted or broken in some way. Harsh, but could be true!
Time For A Change?
Or maybe the cracked screen means you need to majorly switch things up in your life. Like that old snake shedding its skin, the busted phone is a sign to let go of stuff that’s holding you back.
Growing up means change, and change can be uncomfortable sometimes.
Different Cultures, Different Beliefs
In some cultures, breaking a mirror means 7 years of bad luck! Different places have their own superstitions about broken objects. Who knows, maybe a cracked phone means something unlucky for them too.
Or maybe it symbolizes a fresh start! Every culture sees it differently.
What Does It Mean To You?
Anyway, what the cracked phone truly symbolizes is different for each person. Maybe it was just an accident and you need to be more careful next time.
Or maybe it lowkey makes you think about how material stuff doesn’t last and you need to focus more on the important things in life.
Stay Present
Whatever the cracked screen means to you, it’s a reminder to stay present and thankful for what you have right now. We’re always rushing for the next thing that we forget to appreciate the small moments.
Ironic that it’s a smashed phone teaching us to slow down!
Just last week, I had my own cracked phone wake-up call. I was rushing out the door and my phone slipped out of my hand. Smashed on the floor, a giant crack across the screen. I was so mad!
But then I remembered what we learned about symbolism. Instead of just being bummed, I thought about what it could mean.
Maybe it was a sign I need to be more present and not so rushed in the mornings. Or that I’m too attached to my phone and need to give my real friends more attention.
Either way, it wasn’t just an annoying accident. It was lowkey me getting a little message from the universe to check myself. Deep stuff from a cracked phone, right?
Since then, I’ve tried to wake up earlier so I’m not racing out the door. And I’ve made more effort to actually talk to friends instead of burying my face in my phone all the time.
Maybe I’m reading too much into a stupid cracked screen. But maybe not!
Having to look at that cracked phone every day keeps me thinking about what’s really important. As much as I want the latest model, this one with the messed up screen is serving as my little life lesson for now.
Connections Over Objects
At the end of the day, a cracked phone reminds us that real connections with people are way more valuable than possessions. Sure, having a working phone is convenient.
But your relationships, passions and personal growth? Those things will stick with you longer than any phone.
So next time your phone screen shatters, instead of getting bummed, think about what it could symbolize. Maybe the universe is trying to tell you something important!
Or maybe you just need to be more careful. Either way, cracked phone = major philosophical opportunity. Crazy how that works!
