I was thinking about what I’d give up for Lent this year that I’d actually be able to pull off, and for some reason when I look back on the last couple of years, I always seem to attempt to stop myself from doing things practically programmed into my system, that the promise ends up going down the drain anyway. Like swearing. What was I thinking, that didn’t last long at all.

This year however, there’s a little added value to Lent. Seriously, you can’t have the opportunity (obligation, even) to give up unhealthy desires and have the most major examinations of your life right around the corner, and not see it as a flashing neon sign to go the distance by really, REALLY giving something up for the good of something else that’s far more valuable.

I love me my Tumblr and all the other online distractions that can prove therapeutic sometimes, but I can have as much of that as I want once I’m done with mocks. They ain’t going nowhere. So if you see a post from me, it’s either already been queued or I took a little guilty trip back (but God willing that won’t happen).

Y’all are my witnesses. See you on the other side :)
