I think I'll participate in lent this year. I need to practice will power. I plan to give up 3-5 things in hopes that I'll make it the entire 40 days w/ at least one. Lent starts Wednesday and right now I'm contemplating letting go of: negativity, Social Media (unless business related), texting, alcohol, romantic relationships, television, music recorded after 1985 (music is the soundtrack of my life so I can't give it up completely), fake hair (I'm natural so that would mean no protective styling) spending money outside of preexisting bills.... I have about 12 hours to decide and prep myself. Are you giving up anything for Lent? If so what?
