Actually Quote by Jami Attenberg

“I check my phone first thing when I wake up in the morning. I usually take it up with me to bed so it's on the floor next to the bed, although not actually in bed with me, because I really do not want to be the person who sleeps with their phone.” quote by Jami Attenberg
