What are you giving up for lent?
It is March 9th this year
Spoiler:
In Lent, it's traditional to give up (or 'fast from') something(s) that we do a lot of and that we find pleasure in. This giving up or fasting is done:
as a discipline for learning self-control, to free our minds from the chase after material things, to tell ourselves 'no' and make it stick;
to identify with Christ's sufferings, and remember what the true pleasures are for followers of Christ;
as an act of sorrow over our wrongdoings and our state of sin.
Never done it before and won't be this year either.
I suggest a lot of you give up the Internet for it this year though.
You have to give the thing up from 9th of March til the 23rd of April by the way, far too long
