Lent came barreling up to me this year! One second it’s a normal day and the next second, boom, logging off Facebook.
Facebook is this ongoing issue for me, especially recently. Last year I gave it up with such grace and ease like I was this big Facebook sacrificing angel.
This year God puts me to the test, can I make this sacrifice even though I don’t feel thoroughly invested?
It seems silly to make a big deal over this. Facebook gives me this forum to mindlessly relax while feeling mildly passively connected to everyone I ever knew. I defend this because the problem makes me feel lame.
Im not adding anything this year. I’ve just taken on a whole slew of new good habits this month – the writing, the music, the Spanish , the confession.. my goal will be to keep it all going.
I have to keep in mind I’m making this sacrifice to be free from a (seemingly benign) chain, so I can have more time for my hobbies.
Goodluck with the no facebook! You can do it 😊 I’m gonna do no Youtube and I’ll pray so hard that I’ll be able to go through with it.

The litany against FB
I must not FB.
FB is the mind-killer.
FB is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my FB.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the FB has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain–
— ooooo, shiny!

Nice good habits. 😊 Same here. Except for the confession. My practice of Catholicism is rather selective at the moment. 🤗
